Chumash Trail, Simi Valley

This weekend we went searching for a hike where Fran broke her leg several years ago. It's not particularly steep, but loose rocks combined with the distraction of nice scenery can be a nasty combination. :)

The trailhead is at the end of Flanagan Road, which is off the Yosemite exit on the 101 Freeway. You can find details about the trail on LocalHikes.com.

Here we go...

The trail is easy to walk on so you can enjoy the hike without getting lost.

Plenty of rocks & plants.

Fran points to the infamous point where she had a bad fall a couple years ago.

This group of rocks is on the right side about 3/4 mile from the trailhead. Lots of fun climbing around, and you might find a hidden object (hint: Geocache).

Fran is climbing around the rocks we found along the trail.

Marc posing on the rocks.

You can try climbing through this.

There are lots of homes being built in the area, but you can still find some great scenic shots.

Thanks to plenty of rain this season there are some nice flowers to see.

This point (the junction of the small trail to the larger one) is a 2.5 mile point.

The trail hooks up with other trails so you can hike all day if you want to.

We made it! No injuries this time. :)
