Name: Smell Wildflowers and Explore Newest Addition to Rim of the Valley park
Start: 2022-05-14T13:00:00-07:00
End: 2022-05-14T16:00:00-07:00
Location: Dayton Canyon Park south entrance on Roscoe

NOTE: THIS HIKE STARTS FROM THE SOUTH ENTRANCE AT ROSCOE AND VALLEY CIRCLE.

The key puzzle piece in the Rim of the Valley park west of Chatsworth Reservoir is about to be sold to a parks agency for $2.4 million. The 162 acre parcel has lots of trails, TWO EARTHQUAKE FAULTS, three streams, lots of rocks, and lots of sagebrush and wildflowers in bloom. It is east of Dayton canyon park, which is 240 acres recently given to the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy by a builder of homes at the bottom of the canyon.

We will stop to explore rocks and caves and act like monkeys periodically.

The hike is relatively easy with 300 feet of elevation gain. There is only one short steep section, about 1/10th of a mile
