Historic Stagecoach Trail Hike

POSTING ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA STATE DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION
Santa Susana Pass State Historic Park Stagecoach Trail Hike
Difficulty level: Difficult
Start time: 8:00 AM
End time: 11:00 AM
Hike Leader: Ken

Hike the Waterfall Trail and the Stagecoach Trail for an impressive view of the San Fernando Valley. Get a workout in before your Memorial Day barbecue. Learn about the geography, history, flora, and fauna of the Santa Susana Pass State Historic Park.

This is a difficult hike due to uneven terrain and steep slopes. A walking stick or trekking poles are recommended. The distance is 3.5 miles roundtrip.

Meet at the Andora trailhead, 9955 Andora Ave. Chatsworth, 91311. Take Lassen west (past Topanga Canyon and toward the Simi Hills) until it dead-ends (no pun intended) at the Chatsworth Oaks Cemetery. Turn left and park on the street. Meet in front of the information kiosk and look for the hike leader in uniform.

DO NOT follow the online directions to the State Park because it will take you to a different entrance.

Wear sunscreen and long pants because the brush is thick and sticky. A light jacket or long-sleeved shirt is also recommended. Although we try to avoid poison oak, sometimes it is encountered. Wear sturdy hiking boots. A walking stick is preferred by some hikers. Bring plenty of water. A hat is also recommended.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome as long as they are on leash. Please remember to bring enough water for your four-legged friend. All minors must be accompanied by an adult.

Temperatures above 90 degrees, dense fog, rain (even light rain), and red flag warnings cancel the event.
