🦅 Wildlife
A dramatic ridgeline hike over the Simi Hills with massive sandstone formations and 360° views from the summit.
Rocky Peak Trail climbs from the 118 Freeway up into the rugged Simi Hills, with towering sandstone outcrops and ridge-top vistas that reach from the Conejo Valley to the San Fernando Valley. The route is a steady 4-mile out-and-back to the peak, with options to drop into Hummingbird Trail for a loop.
🌟 Why Locals Love It
Big sandstone, real ridge views, and a workout that earns the panorama.
What to Expect
Steady climbing, mostly fire road, exposed and rocky.
💡 Good to Know Before You Go
No shade. Best in cool seasons or early morning.
📍 Local Tip
Catch sunrise on the way up — the sandstone glows orange and the valleys are quiet.
Best Time to Visit
Cool months, mornings only in summer.
