It’s New Map Monday: Windmill Canyon Trail in North Ranch
Highlights
- This easy route of only 1.6 miles with about 200′ of climbing is very pretty, meandering through grassy meadows and groves of oak trees.
- Windmill Canyon Trail is one of the segments of the 2026 Conejo Open Space Challenge (https://cosf.org/challenge)
Description
This is a really easy and pretty hike, suitable for beginners. There is no street parking at the south end near the Thousand Oaks High School, so park near the north end on Via Colinas and walk north on Via Merida about 350 yards to the trailhead on the left side. You will have to go around a fence on Via Merida to get to the trailhead. From there, it’s a simple out-and-back hike, turning around when you get to the high school.
Key Statistics
