Please join me for my first Hump Day Hike from the Simi Valley area with ...of coarse, The Weekday Trailblazers!. This hike will be a moderately strenuous 6-8 mile Lolipop Loop with 1200-1500 ft. of elevation gain treking above Long Canyon through the beautiful rolling hills and oaks of Lang Ranch joining the Albertson Motorway then looping back to Long Canyon. The unique views and landscape of this terrain are sure to be a new favorite. At the highest peak of our journey we will stop for a brief snack to soak in the views and coversation, before heading back into the Long Canyon Trial leading back to the parking lot.
