7/7/10After the 4th of July weekend was a great opportunity to kick off some serious summer hiking. I started feeling a little bored with castle peak so my sister and I decided to take our hike up to Sage Ranch, which is at the top of Woolsey Canyon in Chatsworth. Conveniently nestled in the hills between Simi Valley and Chatsworth, this trail has some great valley views, a camp ground (by reservation only), and happens to border the location of what has been called the 2nd worst nuclear waste spill next to chernobyl (wow!)
Radiation aside this is a great trail for hikers, bikers and.... horses? Yes, we did see a man on a horse coming around one of the turns which was COOL!
It's not a particularly difficult hike, mostly level with a few moderate inclines, but it is a fairly good distance and does give the opportunity to break a sweat.
As the picture shows, the trail is a full loop just over 1 mile. In all it took about one hour to complete, just enough for a substantial afternoon activity.
I would most definitely do this trail again on a clear day with a group of friends!
