Description
This is an easy hike through an area that is mostly low chaparral and grassland. Situated directly south of Dos Vientos and adjacent to Rancho Sierra Vista/Satwiwa, there is easy access to the trails in those areas, and to Point Mugu State Park if one is looking to venture further afield. We will be adding a bit of Rancho Satwiwa to get this hike to about 4 miles.
