Please join me for another Humpday hike with the Weekday Trailblazers. This hike should have some spectacular sunset views as we squeeze in the mileahttp://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/f/e/6/event_97793222.jpegge to be able to enjoy the evening transition in a unique and beautiful area of the Conejo Valley. This will be a moderately strenuous 5-8 mile out and back loop with 800-1100 ft. of elevation gain. We start at the Sunset hills trailhead and climb up to views of the Woodranch reservior(Bard revervior), then continue around the langranch community working our way up to almost connecting to the Albertson Motorway. We'll enjoy rolling hills with views of Simi Peak, Simi valley, Boney mountain, and the Thousand Oaks area. At the bench view point when we've peaked we'll take a brief break to enjoy a snack, soak in the views before heading back to the trailhead.
