http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/8/d/e/event_103671422.jpegAnother Hiking With Dean original, we've been following the footseps of ET since 2008! Since then we have improved upon the hike eliminating all but a few yards of sidewalk walking.

The open spaces and trails lacing Porter Ranch provides us the opportunity to wander the remaining vestiges of two riparian canyons and a cliff-rimmed hillside blanketed with aromatic sage.

So let us set out for the suburban stronghold of Porter Ranch for a variegated 8 mile loop through the hidden wilds and wild suburbia of the north valley including Aliso and Limekiln Canyons. Total Ascent is 1000 ft.

Two oak- and sycamore-shaded canyons--Aliso and Limekiln--and some eroded sedimentary outcroppings known as "The Palisades" are some of the highlights

We'll take our snack break at "E.T. Park" (Aliso Canyon Park, where they filmed ET)

E.T: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982) - Filming locations (http://vimeo.com/21530781) from Herve Attia (http://vimeo.com/user6368429) on Vimeo (http://vimeo.com).

This video shows the location of our hike. The maker did an excellent job in juxtaposing scenes from ET with present day shots. Pay particularly close attention to the opening shots, the dirt path a bicycle is riding on, and the van drivng into a park. We will be hiking over andthrough these locations.
