Simi Valley

This trail in Simi Valley is insanely hardcore. So I had to try it!

Not sure that's a legal trail, just FYI you may wanna change the title.....

 

The trail head was totally clear and accessible, well maintained, and open from the upper fireroad, where I entered it. There was nothing blocking the entrance, and no "closed" or "do not enter" or any signs whatsoever. The reasonable, logical conclusion is that the trail is indeed open.

 

Legal and open are two different things.

 

If there is no sign, no barricade, no indication whatsover that the trail is "closed", then how do you make the determination that it is closed? To anyone hiking or biking there, the only logical conclusion would be that it is open.

 

I don't know how they do things out there, but here in Orange County and State Parks, only trails with a sign at the trailhead indicating the trail are legal. If there is no sign, no go

 

that's not G-Spot, anyhow. FYI, only trails that are legal on rocky peak have signs, Chumash and Hummingbird.

 

That is Animal it is open and legal. It starts next to the bottom of G spot and it comes out 100 yards below the top of Hummingbird. It is the most direct way to do the Hummingbird loop from Correganville. 50% HAB, 35-40 min from the park bottom to the top of the bird
.

You are correct. Oh yes, welcome to Rocky Peak, totally wicked.

 

Closed signs, barricades, even barbed wire get torn out so many of the land managers have adopted putting the signs at beginning of trail or on park maps as a legal trail. Lots of spur/off shoots trails don't have signage and often get main legal trails closed as such with what's happened on Ladera Ridge.

Thanks for clarifying.

 

Thanks for letting me know. I was wondering why it didn't seem quite as steep and ledgy as I'd remembered it!

 

filming yourself looks like a lot of work, unless someone was helping you.

 

Yeah I was there solo, and set up the shots.
