FRIDAY MORNING HIKE - PRESSMAN TRAIL - West Hills

PRESSMAN TRAIL -
The Pressman Trail is located near Bell Canyon Park in West Hills. It begins at the El Escorpion Trail and continues on the Bell Canyon Creek Trail. There are a lot of shaded sections, which makes it a perfect hike for a warm summer morning. Those who want to make it more challenging can go on the Castle Peak Trail.

Most of our hikes will be between 4-5 miles long and will last about two hours, but you have an option to make the hike longer.

Our group have experienced hikers and others who would like to walk at a leisurely pace. In order to accommodate everyone, we may have two groups. You decide! Both may have leaders.

PLEASE KNOW YOUR LIMITS!!
WE DO NOT WANT TO HAVE EMERGENCIES ON THE TRAIL!!!

Doggies on leashes are always welcome.
