Join us for a hike through Trancas canyon to Buzzard’s Roost. We will start from the Encinal Road trailhead and descend gradually through chaparral to the floor of Trancas Canyon. The trail follows Trancas creek along a lush tree shaded pathway. We will cross two bridges and a streambed before climbing towards the Zuma Ridge trail. This trail leads up to Buzzards Roost. Along the way, we will have great views of the coast and ocean. The total distance for this hike will be 8 miles with approximately 1900 feet elevation gain/loss. This will be an out and back hike.
