Sunday, December 12, 2010: Boney Mountain Overlook
Rating: Strenuous
Description
Andrea Friedman and Lewis Groner will co-lead this hike of about 7.5 miles round trip with 2100 feet elevation gain. It includes some breathtaking up-close views of the shear rock faces of Boney Mountain. At a stunning overlook of Boney Mountain, you will see a bench-like rock on the trail with an unforgettable view of the rock faces, as well as views of the Oxnard Plain and Thousand Oaks. The last section of trail is very steep and it is not maintained. Poles would be very useful for the way down, but not a must.
What to bring
2 to 3 liters of water, lunch, snacks, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, hiking boots, day-pack, warm jacket, long pants, long sleeved shirt (shorts and T shirt in warm weather). Clothes should be loose fitting, and light-colors are preferable.
Robertson and Venice Blvd Carpool: 8:15 A.M.
Meet at the western side of the parking lot of Albertson's supermarket, located on Venice Blvd, near Robertson Blvd (there is also an Office Max and a Starbucks Coffee in the same shopping center). Park on the side street (Durango Ave) next to the parking lot. This location is right next to the Robertson's Blvd exit off of the 10 freeway. If there is no JOA representative here form your own carpools. Please share the cost of transportation and parking, if any.
