=================================================

The first time we tried this one it started raining. Have you ever tried bushwhacking in the rain to find a trail that hadn't been used since the 90s? We gave up, but returned later and found our trail, thus creating a brand new loop hike just for you!

Bruce and I returned again to groom the trail a bit, and now its ready for the HWD VIPs!

My secret trail connects the Cold Creek Preserve and a segment of the Backbone Trail.

Post hike lunch is at Sagebrush Cantina. Address is 23527 Calabasas Road, Calabasas

We'll be hiking through uncharted meadows....

Nothing like a cold shower under the weeping rock

Perhaps there will be time to visit the VIP Clubhouse

We will be hiking off-trail and may require some bushwhacking and poison oak avoidance. Wear long pants, long sleeves and good hiking boots. Hike is about 5.5 miles with 1,000 ft elevation gain. Expect the unexpected.
