Name: Ride the Two Winds (Dos Vientos) - Gentler Friendly Hike
Start: 2025-07-31T08:30:00-07:00
End: 2025-07-31T11:00:00-07:00
Location: Dos Vientos Community Park

**Note 8:30 am start time!**
This hike will start at 8:30 and we will probably go slower than David's Malibu Canyon hike. It's usually a bit cooler in the Dos Vientos area. We will loop around the periphery of Dos Vientos Open Space, passing Twin Ponds, overlooking Potrero Road and the Oxnard Plain with the Channel Islands in the background.

**This hike is about 5.0 miles with 800 feet of elevation gain.**

Pace: This is a gentler friendly hike. We will go at a slightly slower pace and we will finish in about 2-2 1/2 hours. Faster hikers are welcome to join us so long as they are willing to hike at the slower pace of the group or wait at the forks on the trail. There are many confusing side trails in Dos Vientos so please plan to stay in contact with the group, not too fast and not too slow, plenty of forks to wait for the rest of the group.

Please note this trail is very exposed (no shade) and there is no water along the way.

DIRECTIONS: From the 101 Freeway in Newbury Park, exit at Borchard Road. Drive 3.4 miles and turn into the Dos Vientos Community Park on the right, just after Via Ricardo (and before Via Las Brisas). Meet near the tennis courts to the left.

If you are coming from the NW, exit Wendy and turn left on Wendy and then a right on Borchard to Dos Vientos Community Park.
