This hike will take us on a scenic trip from the suburbs of Oak Park to the top of Simi Peak, which overlooks both the Simi and Conejo Valleys and offers splendid views of the Santa Monica range and offshore islands to the south and west.

Our route begins at the north end of Oak Park. We begin our ascent, through a series of switchbacks covering about 2.0 miles and just under 1400 feet of gain, until we reach China Flats. Our remaining route is reasonably flat, except for the last quarter mile, as we ascend about 300 feet to reach Simi Peak and its worthwhile views. The terrain is a mix of single and double-file trail and open fire road. The total distance will be approximately 7 miles with 1700 feet elevation gain.

The hike is mainly open hillside and chaparral. The weather can range from calm to windy and from warm to hot. Dress accordingly. We will stop at Simi Peak to grab a snack and enjoy the great views there, and return to the traihead via China Flat and then the fire road back to our starting point.

Parking:

Parking is free at the Lindero Canyon Trailhead. Please do not leave anything of value in your car, at this or any other trailhead.

Directions:

From the 101 Freeway – Exit the 101 freeway at Lindero Canyon Road and turn north toward the Simi Hills. Drive about 4 miles on Lindero Canyon Road to Wembly Ave. and make a u-turn. After the u-turn, the China Flats Trailhead will be on the right. Park along the right side of the road and we will meet in front of the marked China Flats Trailhead.
