Oakbrook Vista Trailhead at Lang Ranch

This will be the easier hike for Tuesday. We will also be a little slower and shorter.

This out-and-back of 5-miles with an elevation gain/loss of +/-900’ provides a great overview of the Thousand Oaks area, the ocean and the western Santa Monica Mountains. The first portion is a narrow trail that zigzags its way up to enjoy views of Lang Ranch and Woodridge trails on the north and more. When the trail splits, we'll continue up Sandstone Hills trail until we reach 2.5 miles and then head back.

Directions:

From 101: Exit at Westlake Boulevard and turn north (away from the ocean). Drive 4.2 miles to Lang Ranch Parkway, then turn right. Continue 0.2 miles along Lang Ranch Parkway to the trailhead, across from the park and vault toilet.
