🌉Annenberg Bridge + Heartbreak Hill - Liberty Canyon - Phantom Trail Loop

My classic Heartbreak Hill loop in the Liberty Canyon Preserve now includes a view of the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing. Tonight we check out its progress from above!

You have 2 options:

1. 1 mile OaB with 500 feet ascent takes us to the bridge view.
2. Includes Option 1 and continues for another 5 miles. After an additional 1,000 feet of ascent its 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.

We'll be visiting the webcam that produced this timelapse photography of entire project up until today

Option 2 is rated DIFFICULT due to terrain. Option 1 is MEDIUM+ due to terrain. See the HWD Hike Rating Guide

🚗DIRECTIONS

Address on map is approximate. From Highway 101, exit on Liberty Canyon Road and drive 0.1 mile south to Agoura Road. Turn right and drive 0.3 mile. Trail head will be on the left - look for the yellow posts. Park on either side of the road.

Trail statistics are approximate. For safety purposes always assume they are underestimated. But don’t be disappointed if they are overestimated. Bring more water and snacks than you think you’ll need.

Trail descriptions are based on previous hikes. Current conditions are unknown until arrival. Expect the unexpected and plan accordingly.
