Come join me on a pleasant evening hike starting at 6pm (not 5:30) on April 22. Please come prepared with a light and possibly poles if you need them. First we hike to the scenic cross area. We won't stop for long at that spot but long enough to enjoy the view. Then we will keep going on to the Reagan library to get a little more in. Our route: From the parking lot behind the Clinica’s medical building, we will cross over Madera and walk a short distance through the neighborhood to the trailhead. We will hike a series of switchbacks for about 1.5 miles to the cross at the top. This is a steady climb across the face of the hill, always in full view of the neighborhood below, and of Simi Valley. At the top are panoramic views of Simi Valley, Moorpark, the Simi Hills, Santa Susana and Santa Monica Mountains, and the Reagan Library close by. We won't sit for too long at the top but keep going over to the gate of the Reagan Library. Hike Time: 6:00 pm. Note a little later than our usual 5:30pm Sunset: 8:08 bring a light or charged phone to be safe, we may not need it but good practice to carry. Where to meet: the parking lot behind the Clinica’s medical building on the corner of Royal and Madera. Distance: about 4 ish miles to cross then to Reagan Library.
