Trekking poles recommended for this one: https://www.hikingwithdean.com/shop/amazon-top-10/

Today we will extend the classic version of my Heartbreak Hill loop in the Liberty Canyon Preserve.

They don't call the hill "Heartbreak" for nothing. The first half mile contains a 500 ft elevation gain. The next couple miles has adds another few hundred feet along rolling hills. After that its all downhill on the Phantom Trail into Liberty Canyon. We will exit the Preserve on Liberty Canyon Trail and return to Agoura Rd along residential Liberty Canyon Rd.

Hike is rated DIFFICULT due to terrain and will be about 6 miles with 1,500 feet of total ascent. See https://www.hikingwithdean.com/hike-rating-guide/
