Rocky Peak via the Hummingbird Trail

Distance: 7 mi. RT
Elevation gain: 1550 ft.

Directions to Trailhead: Take the 118 freeway west-bound, exit at Kuehner Dr., turn north and park immediately on either side of Kuehner Dr.

The Hike: We start on the Hummingbird trail climbing up toward the Simi Hills, paralleling the 118 freeway, stopping to visit caves and a rock house along the way. When we get to the Rocky Peak fire road, we turn left and climb up to the Rocky Peak cutoff. We detour out to the peak at this point to see the painted white line showing the boundary between LA and Ventura Counties, and the mysterious compass painting below on the rocks. We return to the trailhead the way we came.
