Los Robles Trail at Wendy Drive in Newbury Park

**The Hike**
Tonight's hike is a about 3.85 miles with an elevation gain of 600+' suitable for fit-beginners.

My hikes are slow paced (1.5-2 mph) and the listed end time is only an estimate. We take breaks, we explore, and we don't leave anyone behind. If this hike isn't for you, please find another that best suits your needs.

Meet me at 6:30pm at the Wendy Trailhead, we will wait about 5 minutes then start.

The Los Robles Trail in Newbury Park is an alternate route to Angel Vista but we are not going that far. When we reach what I call "the roundabout" we will turn back. The toughest section of the hike is an incline of 250' at the beginning, then is levels out with the usual ups and downs.
