This hike will suit you if have an adventurous spirit and are open for anything.

We're going exploring in Las Virgenes Open Space. This is the kind of hike I like best--looking for the best route, making connections for the first time, doing a hike I've never done before, or perhaps only once.

Trailblazing and Exploratory. Occasionally Strenuous for short bursts, but mostly moderately paced on a Roller Coaster Terrain Leader's choice most of the way but I won't know until I get there.

No "no shows." Do not sign up if you've been a "no show" at any Meetup or your RSVP will be changed to a "no."

Please, no guests. You must be signed up at Fun in the Sun Club Meetup, thereby agreeing to Meetup's Release of Liability (http://www.meetup.com/terms/). Don't show up without signing up here first. Thank you.

Start Time: Arrive EARLIER. It's a good idea to be there at 8:45AM so if you get lost or there's traffic, you'll still be on time. If you're lacing up your boots at 9:00AM, we'll be gone.

Meeting Place in Calabasas: Will be sent to participants by day before hike.

Estimated Stats: 6-7 miles and less than 1,500' of elevation gain.

Pace: Moderate, about 2.5mph overall average. Participants stay behind the leader and group stays together. No one is left behind.

Bring: Snacks, water, first aid kit, gloves (garden gloves fine), layers, trekking poles if you have them; there could be steep sections. We return before dark, but for afternoon hikes you should always bring a headlamp or at the very least, a flashlight.

Wear: Layers, your hiking shoes/boots with the best lug soles, hat, long pants/sleeves for brush protection.

Dogs: Sorry, no dogs ('cos we'll be in a State Park)

Leave nothing of value in your vehicle at any trailhead.
