Rocky Peak Park

Gotta be some of the best views in LA. Its a short 10 min hike to your first view spot and its worth every second. Your pretty much looking down and across simi valley wich is absolutely breathtaking. I recommend this place 10 out of ten!

Super awesome park. Rocky Peak Park :) Very nice for mountain biking, you know? People who love cycling on MTB will definitely enjoy this ride. Also views from the top are amazing, very stunning, beautiful views! Capture all these.

Beautiful hiking trail. The hike up to the peak is 2.5 miles. That might not seem like a lot, but considering the steepness of the path, it is a lot. If you dont know how long that is, I would recommend installing the Under Armour App for walking to track your walk progress. Round trip is 5 miles, and it might take you 3 hours or less depending on your fitness.I went with my 50 year old dad and he kept stopping, hence the three hours. I probably could have done it in 2 hours or 2.5.There is phone connection for maybe like the first half of the hike. Then it comes back at the peak. If you like listening to music, maybe download some songs before you go.Other tips?1)Wear sunscreen. Maybe throw on a hat.2)Watch out for bicyclist. Always move for them. Its not a rule, but just be considerate.3) If youre on the older side, maybe consider buying a hiking stick. Sometimes the steepness can be difficult to climb or even go down. Even I lose my balance sometimes. Or sometimes, as youre going down, your feet my skid down the gravel and you could lose balance. Consider the stick.4) Wear shoes with a good grip. I rolled my eyes at this at first, but I realized quickly to not underestimate it.5) After it rains, some parts of the trail are muddy. Wear shoes that you can afford to get dirty.6) Dress appropriately.

Nice place to hike and bike

A lot of people were not wearing masks. Really nice.

I love outdoors and taking hikes. This is a very beuatiful place outside the city bustle and noise. Breath taking scenery.

Great place to hike! Beautiful views! Not a beginner hike, but not too hard! Did it as a night hike this time

A great challenging climb. Very beautiful

Love this hike... It was a bit hot but really enjoyable. Found a few animals along the way that I have never seen before

I love to hike here. There is something so magical and serene about this place. I highly recommend.

Beautiful place for Hiking . Go Hiking and enjoy the outdoors

I went in July, when it was hot and dry, but this park is beautiful, with some great hikes. Do be prepared for steep climbs though.

Excellent place to go hiking, has great elevations to get a really good workout, and has very good views. Feels amazing and productive everytime after I hike there. It has trails of all levels, from not too hard ones to a decent ones. Never gets too crowded like it usually does in other Los Angeles hiking destinations.

Beautiful views. Some wonderful rock climbing opportunities that are safe and challenging

Wonderful experience. I spent 12 hours here working security and I only cried in my car for 12 hours. Great scenery and view. Helps you reflect on life and cry some more. The roads are a little steep. But I had a great time. Would recommend.

Amazing hike to the top! Just difficult enough to get a good workout. The terrain is very uneven in some areas so probably not great for hiking with small children or even little dogs. You can see for miles at various points on the way to the top. It usually takes me about 1.5-2 hour round trip (about 5 miles). Park right off the freeway on either side and the trail is right there!

A great place to hike with the family. view is amazing, Clean trail. Bring your camera because you may want to take pictures..

I took Chumash Trail. Great hike. Beautiful views of Simi Valley. Amazing sunset. Moderate level, 5.6 mile round trip. Free parking however, they close the park gates about half an hour after the sunset.

Rocky and little sandy trail. Intermediate hiking and biking with lot of Scenic views. It gets little steep at some places which adds to the fun. Trail is 4.75 miles out and back. Generally takes 2- 3 hrs to complete. Bring ample of water and sunscreen during summer. Parking at the trail head is limited so park across the freeway entrance. Watch for tiny scorpions (generally camouflaged in rock crevices) and snakes.

One my favorite places to sit and watch the sunset.

Great quick hike to the middle trailhead. It is pretty steep for little kids but the terrain is easy without too much gravel. Lots of bikers but everyone we met on the trail was very polite. The trail offers great views of the Santa Susannah pass as well as to the North. The interior of the San Fernando valley can be seen on a clear day.

Gorgeous place for hiking, bit of scrambling, or just having a nice relaxing walk. Plenty of places to sit and enjoy the view, maybe meditate a bit if thats what you like. Just be aware its very popular and lots of the people walking there bring their dogs. (not always on leash, despite signs saying theyre meant to be kept leashed at all times)

I LOVE this favorite spot because I can really feel like Im actually alive for a minute instead of existing. I can watch the moon set & the sun come up all at the same time.

Pleasant (if steep) hiking trails leading to some amazing views, and its a surprisingly painless drive up the freeways on weekends. Make sure to check the weather; it can swing from hot and bone dry to humid and windy very quick.Went for an easy day hike with some friends, its not very difficult to find the trail head but theres only a handful of parking spots there. Overflow parking is across the freeway which makes backing in or out a whole new kind of adventure. Gravel and dust will get kicked up on your car just FYIIts the high desert so the plant life withers over the summer and then pops up whenever theres some rain. The trail was flattened and smoothed fairly recently so the only difficult part is the elevation changes. Theres a few forks that lead off to their own overlooks, but itd be hard to get lost unless you walked off the trail.Late September everything was blooming and there was a light fog as clouds blew over the hills to rain on the Valley. Brought a jacket and was happy to have it once we reached the top and stopped moving around so much.

Experienced hikers should like exploring the sandstone cave like topography if they can find it.

Hiked Rocky peak trail but didnt make it too far since the sun was going down, so we made it as far as the hummingbird trail crossing. It is fairly steep that entire way, so if you are looking for an easy stroll, this isnt for you, but there are beautiful views even if you dont make it the 5 miles round-trip! I was also nervous because I read reviews involving theft and car break-ins since people leave their cars and belongings behind... But we were sure not to leave anything in our vehicle.

What a beautiful site in Simi Valley!

A beautiful place to hike and picnic.

Great view and tons of fun if you love hiking.

I had a great time with my churchFamily

Nice rock gardens here. Pretty steep in some places and challenging. I look forward to coming back.

Good time in evening hiking 4 miles

Great, but hard hike!!!

Great hiking trail with beautiful views.

Very hilly hike and one of my favorites in the Simi area. Great views all along the hike, and several side trails for variety. Bring water!

Great place to hike and rock climbing!

Its a,really nice mountain to walk and do hiking beautiful place I enjoy a lot myself

Great hiking and biking area. Amazing views. Tough ascend, but worth the effort.

I love to hike here. Great rock formations that are better in person than in photos.

Good hiking spot . Parking could be a headache sometimes

Awesome hiking trail. One of my favorite hiking trails.

Some of the best hiking, running, mountain biking anywhere in Ventura County and some great views of some very unique terrain!

Amazing trails to ride!

About 2 hours hike from 118. Quiet, great view, bring enough water.

Breezy, sunny wonderful afternoon. Saw a coyote in the distance who was interested in us... Included a pic of large preditor scat? Lots of fibers in it and chunky stuff.

Best trails ever

Nice little hike, good view for sunset too.

Me and my dog dig it. Nice variety of trails all around this park.

Paths are not always clear but had some fun with my son. Hummingbird Trail. We went through a cave that someone told us about at mile marker 1 and that was fun.

Good hicking place, wish they added more signs but its not hard to get lost. Just follow the road. It takes up to 2 hours and its pretty popular so many people visit and even ride their bikes.

Upscale shopping mall

This place is beautiful and a great place to get in some good bouldering problems. Occasionally some less courteous guests leave trash all over but typically its a great spot.

Great place to hike and see all of Simi Valley and Chatsworth.

Beautiful views! Great air.

My best hiking trails, because its wide enough

Exlent hiking trail

It’s a good local trail to spend time with! Sunset is always beautiful.

Hike up to Rocky Peak in this park, it is under 5 miles round-trip with less than 1000 feet elevation gain.

Best mtb spot in LA for sure

Great place to hike. Mountain Lion and coyote area, so be prepared.

What a beautiful place to take pictures and see wildlife and hike its a definite place to go in California

Nice hike but would recommend doing it in the spring. Too brown and dry right now.

Nice place to visit and what a great view of the area!

Very nice and clean lots of trails with good views

Good place to hike with great views. Exposed and no shades.

Good family fun. Rock climbing.picnic area convenience stores and restaurants.

Beautiful land and trail. Not crowded, moderate workout. Love it!

Awesome trails that take you high above the valleys, both Simi & San Fernando depending on the trail you take.

Another great park.

Its a really good hike for Simi

Nice trails to enjoy nature.

Ready for some exercise.

Awesome hike .short so great with kids

Great hike! Alot of uphill but a great work out and views.

One of my favorite hikes. 2.5 miles from parking to the peak. The first .5 miles are still a bit messed up from gravel they spread to accommodate a film crew 7 or 8 years ago, but otherwise a wonderful trail.

Need a quick relax moment? Get off on Rocky Peak Road, park your car and go for walk!

Good defined path, fairly steep

Super steep climb in the beginning, but once you reach the top you can find imprints of fossils. Bring water for your pets.

Its a fun place. The pathways for the most part are hard rock so its easier on you feet.

Its like going mountain climbing except for its right in the middle of the valley. Be careful for broken glass and somewhat dangerous climbing experiences but if you make it to the top you get great views of the valley and the mountains that encircle it. Parking is a little sketchy as it is right on the side of the highway and I felt a little uneasy getting out of the car with traffic flying past at 70 miles an hour but it was not hard to find a spot. There doesnt seem to be one Trail to make it to the top so if you come upon a dead-end just keep trying there are plenty of ways to get to Rocky Peak Parks Apex. One of the nice things is to see all of the horses that are right near the bottom of the peak if youre into that kind of thing. Also a great place to see many of the really nice residences that exist all around the park area.

I love how many trails all link up via the Rocky Peak Park. Meeting new canine friends on the trail is a treat. The views are wonderful, you can see the smoggy landscape of LA on one side, and a clear view of the hills of Simi Valley on the other.One thing that I saw that bothered me was there was a few energy goo packets along the trail, PLEASE BRING A TRASH BAG FOR YOUR TRASH and try to bring back 1 piece of trash back, even if its not yours. Its greatly appreciated! :DYour friendly Adventure 16 member,Joe Flores

I love that its adventurous .I guess every hick is but this was my first time hicking n I loved it

Bring your own water, & plenty of it!

Great place to hike or mountain bike.

Good terrain for a nice uphill hike. Great spots to get to the boulders that liter the area for some cool views. Quite hot and no shade, even in November. Bring lots of water

Great hiking trails

This place is great lil getaway right of the frwy.on the cruz true the 101

Rugged climb but well worth it...

Nice hike to the peak. Uphill most of the way up. With many views of the valley. When you get to the top you get a 360 view of the surrounding are. Its well worth the hike.

Beautiful place to hike or drive-thru

Great place to hike

I love the variety of this place. Not only are there a variety of easy and difficult hikes, but there are cool mountain bike trails, and lots of rocks to boulder on. In various spots youll find little caves or crevices to climb around in. The views are awesome! You get a great view of Simi and the San Fernando Valley. Definitely recommend to visit if you want to watch a sunset!

Great place to mountain bike, steep climbing hills and some very technical drops and fun downhill runs. Always good for hiking except if it is raining or just had heavy rains for it becomes extremely slippery on the trail.Everyone on the trail is friendly, beautiful views of Simi and San Fernando Valley. Located at the east end of Simi Valley.Have fun and watch for snakes in the summer time.

Good place for burns some calories plus the view is beutiful

Great place to hike with your dog and your other loved ones! Spectacular atmosphere and lovely views. Very historic. Horse stables adjacent.If you go with other people, best thing to do is to carpool since its a popular area and parking is a little tricky sometimes. People speed on Topanga Cyn so be careful exiting your car. Or you could just take the train to nearby Chatsworth Station and Uber/Lyft/taxi from there.Make sure to read up on other safety precautions before you go! If bringing your dog, watch other for snakes, bees, coyotes, hawks, etc.You should be fine though, and irs lots of fun!

Outdoor enthusiasts, a beautiful park to visit

The cave is so interesting...but can you find it??

Great place for an early morning hike. Love the view at the top.

I had one of my car windows punched out. Beware of Trailhead Vandals if you park on the other side of the 118, on the Old Susana Rd. Otherwise, great hiking terrain!

Basically a fire road. Lots of dogs (unfortunately dog poop too), bicylists and hikers. Pretty rock formations.
