This will be a moderately strenuous backpack, covering 24 miles in two days over rugged terrain, including nearly 3,000' in elevation gain, so this trip is suitable only for experienced backpackers in very good shape. We’ll face the possibility of some bushwhacking as well as ticks, bears and rattlesnakes fresh from hibernation. 

 

Please sign up only if you are serious about attending. Your signup represents a social commitment to others, who may have to take time off from work to attend this trip. The leader reserves the right to qualify participants. This is a consciously low-impact outing, so carpool participation is encouraged and participants are urged to contribute to their vehicle’s shared mileage and gas costs.

 

This trip will be by individual commissary, and we’re not planning any shared meals, so please plan to provide your own two-day supply of food. 

We’ll meet up to consolidate our carpool at the Camarillo Park-and-Ride (Pleasant Valley Road x US101) at 8:00am (SHARP!) on the morning of Saturday, March 21 in preparation for our 1.5-hour drive to the trailhead. L.A.-based hikers should plan on leaving L.A. no later than 7:00am.
