... whenever I drive the 118 freeway from Topanga Canyon into Agoura Hills, I am captivated by the rocky hills beside the freeway which are now turning a lush green after the rain. For years I have thought: I wish I could just climb out of my car from the middle of the freeway and just start hiking up those mountains! ... You can imagine why I haven't tried this.

How on Earth do I access these hills? I know there must be a way to get out there. I've driven the Santa Susana Pass, but either I wasn't paying attenion or I didn't see a way to get to them from there.

Question: does anyone know how I can explore around those beautiful mountains surrounding the 118 fwy near Simi Valley? I'd love to hike around there...

If you have no answers to this one but know of some really pretty hiking trails in that general area, I'd love to hear about 'em!

Thank you! =)
 
Hi,
The Chumash trail is a great hiking trail.
Exit on Yosemite. Turn north.
Turn right on Flanagin.
Follow to the end and park.
There is a sign marking the trailhead.
It's about 2.5 miles to the top.
You can see Santa Cruz island from the top on a clear day.
I hike it at least once a week.
You'll love it
