Nice, moderately strenuous trail. The trail is mostly uphill on the way up to about 2800 ft. Open trail with nice view of the community below and of the 118 Fwy. Nice rocky hill sides and vegetation and flowers during Springs and after the rainy season. Bring hat, lotion and water. There is no public facility. The trail is not crowded. About halfway up, the trail branches to Hummingbird trail which will take you to the Canyon Oaks Dr. in Simi Valley. Once you reach the top, you can continue down to another trail or go back to the same trail.

The Corrigan Movie Ranch is a fun and interesting nature walk in the sparse hills of Simi Valley, easily accessible year round. the set are all gone, but interpretive signs tell you where hundreds of movie and television scenes were filmed. Give it 90 minutes.
