Space Mountain is the name for Los Robles Trail West, starting at Moorpark Road in Thousand Oaks and switchbacking up the hill to the west. No one seems to know why it's called Space Mountain, though maybe the Disney ride inspired the name.

We'll hike up towards Angel Vista but we’ll retrace our steps before reaching the newer extension to Angel Vista.

We will hike about 7 miles total with about 1200’ of gain.

Those that wish to hike to Angel Vista will hike about 8 miles with about 1350’ gain.
