Get ready to don those sunglasses and bust out The Moderate Hiker's first hike of 2026... yessss!!! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

January 1st was supposed to be the first hike of 2026 but it got sidelined by Mr. Rain, Mr. Frost, and Mr. Fuck-Off-You're-Not-Hiking-This-Morning.

I was so disappointed โ˜น๏ธ

Then, in a cruel twist of fate, the sun came out later that day and it got gorgeous enough to hike... yes, with another group ๐Ÿ˜•

I'm sorry, I'm really not normally like that... you know, a double-crosser... but trust me when I tell you, Soldiers, it was not the same as hiking with you guys (still good to get out on the trail though... *giggle*) ๐Ÿ˜

So, let's go ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒ and bust out a bitchen hike on a trail that's got a little bit of everything - grand oak tree canopies ๐ŸŒณ wildflowers ๐ŸŒธ expansive views, and stunning green carpeted hillsides as a backdrop. Oh, and bubbling tar pits, which is where you'll end up if you fucking complain. Plus, birds ๐Ÿฆโ€โฌ› bees ๐Ÿ and critters ๐Ÿฟ I mean, c'mon people, what could be better?!

Nothing, except maybe food ๐Ÿ˜ which is why this is a hike AND brunch!
After the hike, we'll head over to El Patio for some yummy Mexican food ๐ŸŒถ๐ŸŒฎ 4351 Township, Simi Valley

The hike is about 4.5 miles with an elevation gain of approximately 700 ft. cumulative, but don't hold me to that. Don't hold me to end time either. In fact, don't hold me to anything, you'll get disappointed.

Doggos are allowed on this one ONLY if you pick up and pack out their ๐Ÿ’ฉ and they remain leashed ๐Ÿฆฎ

So, you in?!
Can't wait!! ๐Ÿ’‹ ๐Ÿ’‹ ๐Ÿ’‹
