A trek along the new eastern loop among the rocks that overlook the San Fernando Valley, followed by the usual 2 1/2 mile western loop trail. First loop is walking on rocks a lot. Nothing too wild except the picture you see below, which is optional if you don't like cool ledges. Loop #2 is all civilized trail.
(This is Part 2 of a scenic rocks double-header: Hike #1 is at 9 am at Cave of the Munits and Castle Peak and is separately posted)
ELEVATION GAIN: not much, about 100 feet on each loop
NO ROPES ARE REQUIRED--KIND OF LIKE MY TREKS TO VASQUEZ ROCKS PARK
DIRECTIONS TO TRAILHEAD: from Valley Circle Blvd. in the West San Fernando Valley, go uphill 2 miles on Woolsey canyon road and at top of hill, turn right at Sage Ranch sign, and the parking lot is on the left in 1/4 mile. Park in dirt lot next to the road. Parking is free here. (If you drive up the road inside the park to the top, you have to pay to park there. So don't unless you like giving the government your money)
