Special instructions   The same evening as the hike, there will be a Moon Circle (fire dance and drumming) at Dockweiler State Beach. 7-10PM. North most fire pit. $7 parking.

Directions  
From the 101 freeway near Calabasas, take the Las Virgenes Road exit and go north about 3km (2 miles) to where Las Virgenes dead ends at the trail head to Amhanson Ranch.

The Good  
* Beautiful green rolling hills.
* This is a great place for dog walking. But be sure to bring a leash.

The Bad  
* Wide open sky. Not much cover.
* After a rain, the trail will be _very_ muddy. The soil here is particularly rich.

Where  Calabasas, CA

Notes  
Many historic movies were filmed at Ahmanson Ranch, then known as Lasky Mesa. Among the movies were Gone With the Wind, The Thundering Herd, The Charge of the Light Brigade and They Died With Their Boots On.

This hike has next to no elevation change, but there are so many great paths that we could hike just as long as we wish.
