🦅 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.
