Restrictions apply for your safety and ours:

* Don't show up unless you're on the "Attending" list
* No "Plus Ones" on this hike
* Plan on completing the entire hike at a reasonable pace or please find an alternative hike that better suits your hiking level.

For this adventure, we'll start at the Potrero Ridge trailhead off Mountain Creek Drive in Newbury Park, climb to the top of the ridge and follow it west to the heart of the Dos Vientos trail system. From there we'll cross the street to follow the Sierra Vista trail. We'll cross another street and continue along the Vista del Mar trail to the bench to enjoy the ocean view. We'll head back on the Las Brisas and other trails returning to the cars via Potrero Ridge.

The distance is about 7 1/2 miles with elevation gain about 1300 feet.

There is no cover on this hike as it climbs up and down the ridges of Dos Vientos, so be sure to bring plenty of water and protection from the sun.

Driving Directions:

Driving Directions: From the 101 freeway, turn south onto Wendy Drive, towards the ocean. Continue for about 0.7 miles and turn right at Borchard Rd and head west 0.5 miles. Turn left on S. Reino Rd taking this south for about a mile. You will pass an Albertson's supermarket, then turn right onto Maurice Drive and right on Mountain Creek Drive. There is plenty of street parking in this residential neighborhood near the trailhead.
