Is this semester going too fast for you? Are you already drowning in work, even though the semester just started? Take a break from your responsibilities and plan on hiking with us in February!
The Los Robles Trail to Angel Vista Point is a 7.2 mile out and back hike. The hike starts in Thousand Oaks and goes through an Oak Grove before entering into the Hope Nature preserve. With all this rain, there is bound to be some visible greenery! There is a picnic table at the vista point, where we can sit and enjoy lunch with Dr. Haas.
PEAK: Los Robles Trail to Angel Vista Point
DIFFICULTY: 3.5/5
SCENERY: Oak Groves, Rolling Hills, and a 360 degree view of the entire area, including the Santa Monica Mountains, Hidden Valley, and the Oxnard Plains
FUN FACT: On a super clear day you can even see the ocean and Channel Islands!
