Published by Steve Clark on

Highlights

  • This route is 8.0 miles long with about 1300′ of elevation gain.
  • There will be waterfowl in the Twin Ponds if there was a enough rain during the preceding winter to keep the ponds from drying up.
  • The view is constantly changing on these hilly trails, overlooking Dos Vientos for much of the way, but also overlooking Long Grade Canyon and Camarillo. Boney Mountain is visible in the distance to the south and Conejo Mountain to the north.

Description

The is an out-and-back route of 8.0 miles with 1300′ of climbing. Much of the route is on or close to a ridgeline, so there are generally good views to both sides. Being hilly, you’ll get a good workout. The Twin Ponds are always a treat with lots of typical slough vegetation and waterfowl if there’s water in the pond, and there generally is. The Twin Ponds is a good place to stop for lunch, or at least a snack, on this hike or ride.
