Trailhead
From Highway 118/Simi Valley Freeway in Simi Valley, exit on Kuehner Drive. Drive 3 miles south to the highway 118 east on-ramp. (along the way, Kuehner becomes Santa Susana Pass Road). Turn left, crossing over the freeway, and park 0.1 miles ahead at the end of the road.

Description

This is a fun hike through dramatic rock formations and continuous panoramic views of both Simi and the San Fernando Valleys. In the spring, the green grass and rocky formations make for a stunning contrast, and wildflowers dot the trail along the way. On a clear day, you can see to the ocean. The last couple of hundred yards to the trail can be a bit of a scramble, but the views are worth the effort.
