Hiking from the Santa Susana Pass between Simi Valley and Chatsworth on February 25, 2016

We started north of the 118 by climbing Rocky Peak Mtwy, dropped down a goat track to Corriganville, then climbed back up on a trail south of the freeway.

This is where we turned down a goat track of a trail that leads to a wildlife crossing under the 118 freeway.

Most of the trail is really steep, but the surface was firm so not too slippery. Mostly.
