Hike up the road past the gate for .1 miles. |
Take a right at the signed nature trail. |
Pass the Chumash Indian mortar bowls. |
Go toward Eagle Rock taking the right fork past a wooden gate. |
Go up the fenceline for a shortcut. We came down that way. |
Go thru the barbed-wire fence and take the dirt road. |
Return down on the Oak Woodlands Trail. |
Connect back to Dairy Creek Road, going left to return. |
El Chorro Loop Hike |
Hike past the gate about .8 miles along Dairy Creek Road |
Upon reaching a paved road, take the bridge over Dairy Creek. |
Sally spotted a buck near a eucalyptus grove. |
Climb over the vehicle gate and continue upward. |
Take the first left and walk ruts. |
Over a rise you'll see the forked path to the overlook. |
Take the left fork to the 664 ft hilltop. |
Sit on the rock and return down toward the water tower. |
Both hikes in less than 3 hours |
Sally and I did both. |
Just turn right on Dairy Creek Road coming out of the Oak Woodland. |
Eagle Rock was great. El Chorro Loop wasn't so great. |
It was fun to spot a group of 6 deer moving thru the fields. |
Try El Chorro in the spring when everything is greeen. |
