Ray Miller Trail

The summer heat is on and it is time to hike near the Pacific Ocean. The Ray Miller Trail is approximately a 7.5 mile loop trail. Part of the hike overlooks Big Sycamore Canyon. We will hike in a clockwise direction so that we will have a beautiful view of the ocean near the end of our hike. We'll all be starting at 8:00 at the trail head.

Be aware that there is poison oak, ticks and rattle snakes.

Here is the link with a map and a few photos:

Parking:http://img1.meetupstatic.com/img/clear.gif Make sure to bring $7 cash for the box. I recommend you also have a pen to fill out the envelope. There may be free parking available on PCH.

Directionshttp://img1.meetupstatic.com/img/clear.gif : To get to Ray Miller Trailhead drive west on the Pacific Coast Highway, 22 miles from Malibu Road to La Jolla Canyon. Those coming from the Ventura area, will find it 4 miles beyond Las Posas Road. It is located across the highway from the western end of Thornhill Broom State Beach. A fee is charged for parking, so stop at the sign. Drive about 400 yards up the canyon and park in a paved lot on the left. Water is available in the picnic/parking area; restrooms are just a few yards up the trail.

Carpool:http://img1.meetupstatic.com/img/clear.gif There will be a carpool leaving at the Tapo Canyon Park & Ride at 7:00AM

What to bring: Plenty of water, snacks, lunch, hat, sunscreen and whatever else you’ll need for a hike. Water is also available in the picnic/parking area and restrooms are a few yards up the trail.

Unfortunately, no dogs are allowed on this trail as it is part of Pt. Magu State Park.
