About us
This meetup is all about social interaction, mostly through hiking. We think mental health is just as important as physical health, and that makes us different from other hiking groups. If you are interested in hiking, making friends, having fun, and exploring the greater Los Angeles area, then this group is for you. Hiking, PLUS other stuff!
Please find a list of frequently asked questions under the "Pages" tab of the desktop display, or by clicking "here".

Chivo Tar Pits lollipop - Easy Intermediate with beginner option
5079 Westwood St, Simi Valley, CA, US4.75 miles, 700' gain, easy-intermediate
Option for 3 miles, 300' gain, easy.This is a link to the route: LINK
We start with a 1/4 mile walk from where we park along Cottonwood Dr, to the trail head. There we make a left and take a relatively flat section and hike for about 3/4 mile. We'll come to the same tar pits as the Tapo Canyon tar pit hike, and then continue for another 300 feet to a fire road.
We'll turn left and after about 300', we arrive at a trail junction, which is our social event area.
Easier Option: Those taking the easier option will wait there for 30-45 minutes for the rest to arrive back. They also have the option to turn left and start walking up the hill, turning around to return at any time, or turning back when they run into the fastest people taking the regular route making their way back down.
Regular Option: Those taking the regular route will make a gradual climb for 1 mile and about 450' of incline. At the top, continue straight and around to the left, down for 3/4 mile, arriving back at the social event area for 30-60 minutes.
Please bring food and drink to share.
Next we'll turn back and head the way we came down a mostly flat section for about a mile until we arrive back at the trail head. Then another 1/4 mile walk along Cottonwood Drive back to our cars.
There is a map of the route posted with this event.

Sagebrush Cantina: Hindsite
Sagebrush Cantina, 23527 Calabasas Rd, Calabasas, CA, USMany from this group, plus other friends, will attend this event at Sagebrush Cantina. The band playing (Hindsite) puts on a fantastic show, playing dance, pop, r&b/funk, and hip hop music from the 70's up to the latest hits.
This is one of the best venues I've experienced on LA's west side, and this is one of the best bands I've seen at this venue. Come see a Hollywood quality show for free. Hindsite will have you dancing all night!
We'll be seated either in the outdoor area, or indoors, depending on the weather. Seating is often tough here, so even if we don't all sit together, we'll be seeing one another on the dance floor!
The band starts at 8p, but get there an hour earlier and maybe you'll get a seat with the group.
