Hike Beautiful Elsmere and Whitney Canyons back to back

Saturday, February 19- Elsmere Canyon-Elsmere is an exquisite canyon with both Riparian and Oak woodlands. This is the area that was acquired by the city of Santa Clarita through their open space initiative. We will take the new loop which is 6 miles RT.

To get to Elsmere Canyon (same parking area as Whitney), take SR-14 to Newhall Road. Exit. Turn South towards the Park and Ride. Park. We will meet in the MRCA parking area just to the left of the park and ride. We will begin at 8:30, so be prompt. Bring water.

(For those of you wanting a longer hike, Dianne will also be doing Whitney Canyon, so the mileage of both trails will be 12) Bring water, lunch if you’re doing both trails, and snacks.
