We already have Thursday night MTB rides which are a blast. Who is free earlyish on Mondays and wants to start a more constant meetup for hiking. I get off work Mondays at 1330 in Newbury Park and plan on getting out regularly after that. Targeting south Ventura / very north LA counties, but could be convinced to travel further for the right trail. Target is 3-5 miles with some elevation.
@4lowlance and I are meeting at Sandstone Peak parking lot around 1430 today to either do the Mishe Wonkwa and Sandstone Peak loop or the Grotto trail.
 
It was a little warm so we just did Sandstone up and back. 3.37 miles 1205 ft. I think we might shoot for the top of Boney from the same start next week. Maybe see if we can get to the caves from the back side.
 
Looking at the Strava map there are four other prominent peaks in the immediate area Besides Sandstone @3110. Sandstone is the highest point in the Santa Monica mountains. There is Boney Mountain @2837, Tri-peaks @3008, Big Dome @2910 and Exchange Peak @2949. All of them would be off the same trail loop in one way or another with spur trails to the peaks except maybe Boney Mountain. That one would be a little further out. We could probably hit Big Dome and Tri Peak in a single day by just extending the loop some.

I was just looking at the STRAVA map on the PC. I should probably find a better app based map for hiking that shows routes and trails. Or get a Garmin that will work on my bike and on my feet.
