VIP Hike: Secret Trail to Las Virgenes View Park

This hike is for VIP club members only. If you are not a member you can join here: https://www.hikingwithdean.com/hwd-vip-club/

My secret trail is an old farm road that has not been used in a few decades and is currently heavily overgrown. I did it about 13 years ago, and scouted it out a couple months ago, along with some fellow hikers. Its passable with a little bushwhacking. Wear long pants

Hike will be about 8-9 miles with 1500' total ascent. The bushwhacking part is a relatively short segment.

There are some cool artifacts and old farm equipment along the way -- one of them shown in photo above
