VC backcountry-Los Padres Fishbowls loop

Come explore the Los Padres backcountry out near Frazier Park/Lockwood Valley off Interstate 5/Grapevine.

6/1 Meet at 8:30am at the gate off Lockwood Valley/Grade Valley Road. Cars may be able to make the washboard road but higher clearance is recommended. People can carpool from the gate to the trailhead in higher clearance cars.

Should start hiking no later than 9:15. Hike is about 5 miles to camp and is relatively flat with several creek crossings.

Camp has a pool to cool off in.

6/2 option to backtrack to the car or create a loop. The loop option has a few short sections of exposure on a narrow trail on the side of the ridge.
