Hey everyone it's the light skin dragon coming to you live and directly from today's adventures! I…read morewas feeling depressed about not seeing or speaking to my daughter, my cars engine is broken and will cost me 5000, and not being able to go to class this week because of my situation! I told myself I will take the bus and come to see Mother Nature. While I was on my fast in January I booked marked these stair here so god spoke to me today and so I went. I needed to see the green, get fresh air and just get back into my own zone because of the funk I've been in. Being here help me think of good times I've been to stairs, or on a trails I've been on. People I've gone on hikes with or even loved ones for their first time. The views got me out of my own mind and really gave me clarity of where I should be and where I'm heading. God reveals all and have me see things which I appreciate the good and the bad. And it really shows me I need to be where I need to be. I am willing to take more adventures soon with the bus and just humbling myself as a post I posted on social media about me remaining with an open heart to see what life has to offer now. Light skin dragon blasting off looking for another place to calm my nerves, and remain at peace which this area honestly brought and it was hard to find taking the bus and walking haha

As others have mentioned there are a few different starting points to get to Calabasas Peak, I…read morestarted from Red Rock Canyon Park. From there and back it's about a 4.5 mile hike (also $5 for parking at Red Rock). From the red the trails aren't marked so I'd recommend checking the All Trails app before hand to get an idea of how the trail goes. Overall it's a moderate hike, a good gradual incline but nothing brutal. Nice rock formations along the hike with nice views of the San Fernando valley, Topanga/ Santa Monica mountains, and a glimpse of the ocean. During the late spring and summers months make sure to bring plenty of water, sun screen, and a hat since there isn't much shade on the trail.

I followed the directions on Yelp and it's not accurate. I went beyond the entrance of the hike…read morewith parking across the entrance. It is about 4 miles in & out the trail. You will continually incline as you are going into the peak and, of course, decline as you finish your hike. The hike was decent. Once at the toppest point you want to be at there's plenty of mountain views.

Do you ever not realize you haven't heard a certain noise in years until you finally hear it again…read moreand it's like music in your ears? This is how I felt yesterday evening as I stepped foot into Limekiln Canyon trail! What was that noise? Frogs!!!! I did not realize that I haven't heard the sound of frogs croaking in years and suddenly it was the most beautiful noise so peaceful and serene I wanted to spend the night on a log just listening!!! I attended a meet up hike and I had no idea this trail existed! As a side note it was funny I didn't know this is the same hiking group my step dad attends so it was a fun surprise when we saw eachother and we hiked it together! I've lived around the area and explored all my life but this is the first time I heard of this trail or seen it!!! Parking is street parking off Tampa and across from the church. The entire path is dirt roads and very very well maintained brush on all sides. My step dad said he's had a run in with rattlesnakes on this trail and to be very careful on the parts of the trail that get narrow with bushes on both sides so close to where you're walking. All the trees are huge and give great shade and cover. We hiked at around 6pm and I did see people with dogs who were all on leashes which was good and the trail wasn't too congested so I do believe next time I come to this trail I can bring my dog along! When it gets dark the trees don't let in too much light from the sky so make sure you bring your flashlight. I'm really excited to have such a nice place to hike so close and, well, as I said the sound of the frogs has me hooked and you might catch me there just sitting on a log listening to the beautiful nature sounds!

This trail is a secluded escape tucked away in the hills of the Valley! If you're looking for a…read morehike that is low key & quiet, this is definitely the spot. Once you reach the top, you're rewarded with a wonderful panoramic view of the Valley. It's also quite interesting as you hike along; you get a bird's-eye view into various backyards with some truly beautiful pools & hot tubs. The day I went was overcast, which made for a very pleasant & chill walk. There is plenty of nature to enjoy, including lots of birds flying around. Also lots of street parking outside the entrance to the trail. One thing that caught my attention: lots of litter & beer cans everywhere:( very sad .

What an amazing trail to hike! I joined a hiking Meetup group and this was my first event with them…read moreand wow! They walked at a very fast pace and most of the trail going in is uphill. I have been doing sweat cycle for a couple months so I thought that I'm in better shape but I really had to slow it down and find my own pace and catch my breathe LOL. After the initial half of almost constant uphill then the trail lets out into an area that splits off and you can choose to go left which is easier and not as steep or you can go to the right which is what they said as 3 more steep inclines of 10 minutes each! All this climbing is worth it for the gorgeous views, and the fresh air. At the very top I felt exhilarated that I didn't give up! I hope that i can continue exploring and finding new parks and trails to increase my stamina, to then return to this location and test my endurance if I can go faster next time! Wear good hiking shoes with grip because there are loose rocks and narrow areas on the path and you need good grip for both the up and down hill. I didn't have a walking stick but everyone else had one and I think that would be beneficial for walking this path.

The middle…read moretrail is very narrow and very steep, and when a bike comes barreling down it's so dangerous and scary. It really bothers me that there are so many bikers here, and they expect us to rush off to the side and let them go by. It says biking is ok at 5mph but they go much much faster than that. It's the only hike I've ever been on where bikers are like this.

Trail Views: Beautiful views of San Fernando Valley once you get to the top. I love the trails in Los Angeles! If you are running or hiking them it gives you a sense of peace.

I really like this trail because if you like to walk run or bike for long distances and incline this is the place for you. Ive only gone about 5 miles in but this road is the lead road to many shorter trails. You will see trucks and off road vehicles on this road as it is residential for half mile, but so far they have all been courteous of those working out. You will run into a lot of really nice people always saying hello, i like that. You will also see many people with dogs on leashes and off. Great road with lots of options, i heard this road goes to top of Reseda. I will make it there someday.

This hike provides some climbs so be prepared for this. For an average hiker one should not find the climbs too challenging.

It's a compacted dirty parking lot which has major holes and gullies in it: so low to the ground vehicles could have issues. Drive slowly and the mind the gaps.
