Buck Moon Hike on Mt. Basura - Las Virgenes Highlands

Tired of the same old full moon hike? Then this one is for you. It will be the first time we have gone to Mt Basura in the evening. "Mt Basura" is my name for the Calabasas/Lost Hills Landfill. Our destination is a small peak overlooking the landfill with views of Calabasas and Agoura beyond.

Bring drink and light snacks to share. I'll bring some cold white wine.

Our usual hikes to Mt Basura are about 8-9 miles. I have created a shorter option of about 5.5 miles with about 600' net elevation gain. The trails are clear and wide -- perfect for a moonlit hike.

The Full Moon in July is the Buck Moon, named after the new antlers that emerge from a buck's forehead around this time of the year. It is also called Thunder Moon, Hay Moon, and Wort Moon.
