Saturday September 14th
Two Springs Hike
Located on top of Pine Mountain are two seldom if ever visited and uniquely different Fresh Water Springs. On the Cuyama side of the mountain we have the McGuire Springs which was a Basque shepherd camp from the late 1800’s. This fresh water spring is located beneath ancient majestic pines with stunning views of the Cuyama Badlands.
On the other side of the mountain lies Chorro Spring. On a clear day you can see beyond the Channel Islands. This site was an important part on the Chumash Indian Trail. The spring actually begins beneath a giant boulder. There are also many ancient carvings in this area.
This hike is approximately 5 miles total and begins at 7,000 ft. elevation. This is not a very technical trail, only a few steep hills, but is filled with breathtaking 360° views and the smell of fresh pines and wild flowers.
We will meet at Nordhoff High School parking lot @ 8am and then carpool to the Pine Mountain trail, (approx. 35 mile drive to trail). Total time for the day approx. 6 hrs.
Things you will need for this hike:
• Water, sack lunch, snacks.
• Hat, sunscreen, bug spray, comfortable hiking shoes.
• Camera, spirit of adventure.

•  Cost is $25 per person / group discounts available!

Sunday May 12th

On this hike we will follow an ancient Chumash Indian trail  along Chorro Grande Creek up into the pine trees until we reach the springs. This Chumash camping site was sacred to the Indians and the springs actually bubble out from under a massive boulder. We’ll have a bite to eat here and head back down . On  the way back we will detour to check out some Chumash carvings and go down to Chorro Grande Falls where the Chumash had a camp site located under the water fall. We’ll rest a bit in the shade and you might want to go for a swim in the pool beneath the falls.

Our hike begins @ 3,500 ft. elevation and the Chorro Grande Springs are @ 6,400 so we have a bit of climbing to do. Distance wise it is only 4 miles from the bottom to the top, so 8 miles total round trip.

We will meet at Nordhoff High parking lot at 8:00am and car pool to the trail head.  Driving time is approx 40 minutes.  Plan on being gone at least 5 hours.

Things you will need for this hike:

• Dress in layers, (starts out cool but could get hot)
• Comfortable hiking shoes
• Hat & Suncreen
• Lots of water
• Sack lunch & snacks
• Camera

The cost for this hike is $25 per person.  This is a “not for wimps hike.”
