Hill Canyon/Western Plateau - Weekday Hikers Clubhouse

Note the date change

Hill Canyon is part of a system of deeply eroded canyons, plateaus and ridgelines known as the Conejo Canyons Open Space. On clear days, trails in this area afford dramatic views of Ventura and the coastline, as well as inland to the Topa Topa mountains north of Ojai. This area also conserves a variety of habitats, including coast live oak woodlands, riparian habitats, interior sage scrub/chaparral, and coastal sage scrub.

We'll have our snack/lunch at our clubhouse by the creek

The hike will be about 8 miles with moderate elevation gain.
