SUMMARY:Summer Solstice Nature Hike on Pine Mountain
DESCRIPTION:Photo: Erika Klohe \nREGISTER\nPlease use the REGISTER link at top or bottom of this page to sign up before securing space with the PayPal link at the bottom of the page. \nIf you’ve walked or hiked with me this year (or any year)\, you’ve probably heard me rave about the special beauty of Pine Mountain. Please join our annual Summer Solstice Nature Hike on the Reyes Peak Trail. We’ll visit some of the most spectacular scenery and habitat that Ventura County has to offer just when many late spring wildflowers are blooming up there at an elevation of 7000 feet(!).  According to Craig Carey\, author of Hiking and Backpacking Santa Barbara and Ventura\, the Reyes Peak Trail along the northern slope of the peak is “quite simply one of the most beautiful stretches in the southern Los Padres.” \nRondia and friends enjoying lunch. Photo: Chris Kudelka\nThe outing will start at 9:00 a.m. with a car caravan of about 35 miles up Highway 33 from the Maricopa Plaza\, (1207 Maricopa Highway\, Ojai\, CA 93023) to the Reyes Peak trailhead. The final 5.5 miles are on a narrow\, winding paved road and the very last half-mile is dirt. Trucks or SUV’s are preferred for the last stretch but most passenger cars with high clearance can also make the drive. \nLanny examines the needles of a White Fir sapling on the Reyes Peak Trail.\nWe will start walking into the Sespe Wilderness from the trailhead (where there is a restroom) at about 10:30 a.m.\, stop for lunch (not provided) in the forest\, and return to the trailhead by 3:30 p.m.\, arriving back at the Maricopa Plaza by 4:00 p.m. We will hike on a well-used trail through Mixed Conifer Forest habitat\, stopping often to identify and discuss native plants\, birds and wildlife. \nThis intermediate level hike is suitable for moderately experienced hikers or physically fit beginners. There will be some elevation gain and loss skirting the north side of Reyes Peak\, sometimes traversing steep hillsides on a narrow trail. The total hiking distance will be about 3 miles. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the elevation\, those with respiratory or circulatory issues possibly affected by altitude should consult with a physician before attempting this hike. \nWeather and marine layer permitting\, we will have panoramic views of the Cuyama Valley to the north and the Channel Islands to the south.  This hike is another in a series of backcountry walks and hikes under an Operating Permit from the Ojai Ranger District Office of the U.S. Forest Service designed for guides who provide recreational and interpretive services to the public. After the hike participants will receive a detailed follow-up email including a list of all plants identified. \nPLEASE NOTE: Light rain will not cancel. Heavy rain or thunderstorms will. Once you register you will receive weather updates\, directions and other info about what to wear\, etc. \nMy 2021 book\, Medicinal Herbs of California\, will be available at the meeting place in the morning for sale and signing. \nREGISTRATION: The cost is $45. Please use the REGISTER button at top and bottom of this page to sign up before securing your space with the PayPal button. Please note that the PayPal admission charge includes their fee. If mailing time permits\, when you register you can request instructions for mailing a check for $45 instead of using PayPal. No dogs or smoking\, please. \nIf the event sells out\, PayPal will not accept your payment. You will see a message that says this event “is not available at this time” and you will be returned to this page. If that happens\, be sure to click on the REGISTER button below to sign up for the waiting list. If spaces become available they will be filled based on date and time of registration. \nREGISTER\n\nView north of the Cuyama Valley from Pine Mountain\nPhoto: Enrique Villaseñor
