Hump Day Sunset Hike to Angel Vista, route 2 from Felton

Hump Day Sunset Hike to Angel Vista, route 2 from Felton

Details

This hike will take us again to Angel Vista, but coming from the west on the Los Robles trail. Be sure to bring a flashlight, as it may well be dark before we get back to the cars!

The Los Robles trail system is unique in that it is the only 'national historic trail' in the State of California, as designated by the National Park Service. The trail parallels the route taken by Juan Bautiste de Anza in 1776 through the Rabbit...I mean the Conejo Valley as he led his band of almost 200 settlers from Mexico to San Francisco. See a couple sunset pics below from Angel Vista during our January hike.
