We will hike from Santa Susana pass road to the Larry Trout memorial trail to some cool rock formations, then summit Mount Rexmore to enjoy the 360 degree city view
Post hike dinner, margaritas, beer, at Mission Burritos on Tapo st. in Simi Valley
Mount Rexmore trails now connect directly north to Santa Susana Pass Road through a new Trail.
Hikers can now use this trail to reach hike favorites to the north like Corriganville and Rocky peak Parks without walking on private property
The 141 acres was purchased by a Meetup hike leader to save the wildlife migration corridor between the Santa Susana mountains and the Simi hills.
It is home to at least 40 types of native flowers, trees and sagebrush, plus deer, bobcats, lizards, hawks, rattlesnakes and Mountain lions.
