[RBW] Re: scouting East Canyon
Evan, Great pictures! I'm always up for a planned Riv ride where ever. Perhaps Mike has a point about other rides just North of Newhall. ~Hugh On Saturday, July 13, 2013 11:55:38 AM UTC-7, Evan Spacht wrote: Hi folks, While it was Flickr friends that introduced me to the RivOwnerBunch, this is my first venture into sharing my photosets here on the forum.

Re: [RBW] Re: scouting East Canyon
I'm in total agreement; it's more of a hiking trail but fun, nonetheless. I personally find the trail a bit too steep and rocky for an enjoyable descent. Keep me posted on fall destinations and count me in. -Evan On Saturday, July 13, 2013 8:50:19 PM UTC-7, Mike Schiller wrote: except that it's a short ride ( 45 min.) to the top and no where to go from there except down to the San Fernando Valley.

Definitely looks to be Rivendell turf. What town is close by? Nice to see those late afternoon sunset shots. That means you took advantage of all the daylight. dougP On Saturday, July 13, 2013 11:55:38 AM UTC-7, Evan Spacht wrote: Hi folks, While it was Flickr friends that introduced me to the RivOwnerBunch, this is my first venture into sharing my photosets here on the forum.

East Canyon is just west of Newhall in LA County. I've ridden that dirt road at least 50 times... a nice climb in oak trees. At the top there is an intersection that can take you to Mission Peak with great views of the San Fernando Valley. This land was acquired by the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy about 10 years ago. ~mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

I suggest this should be on the short list for fall rides. dougP On Saturday, July 13, 2013 2:14:13 PM UTC-7, Mike Schiller wrote: East Canyon is just west of Newhall in LA County.
