Dos Vientos - 5 mile Loop

Join me on a moderate five mile loop with a total elevation gain/loss of about 800 ft.

Should be 80 degrees at 5:30 and the temperature will drop during the hike. May even catch a breeze on the ridge.

Please meet at the Dos Vientos Community Park Tennis Courts near the corner of Rancho Dos Vientos and Borchard Rd.

At about the 2 mile mark there is an overlook to the ocean. we will stop at a bench and have a break. Bring snacks to share

This hike explores some of the neighborhood trails in the Dos Vientos area of the southwestern Conejo Valley. Although most of this route is on trails and/or dirt utility roads, there are three street crossings, and also a few minutes on a roadside trail. From high on the trails, there are outstanding views of the nearby Dos Vientos residential area, as well as distant vistas including Camarillo, Thousand Oaks, surrounding mountains and open space, a secluded pond, the Pacific coast, and two of the Channel Islands. Park at Dos Vientos Community Park at Borchard Road and Via Las Brisas.

Sunset is at 7:28. Bring a headlamp or flashlight (one's phone will do) in case we are not back by dark.
