    Hike in Santa Monica Mountains and Optional Dinner/Gelato afterwards, Sunday, July 11th, 2010 
     

    Come join MOSAIC Outdoor Club of Greater Los Angeles for a Sunset hike in the Santa Monica Mountains, on Sunday, July 11th @ 5:30 PM. Marshall Ratinoff will lead this spectacular 6 mile loop hike with about 1,000 feet elevation gain in Mandeville Canyon, up to the San Vicente Mountain Park and a former military Nike Missile Control Site with an observation tower (as well as water and restrooms).

    The park provides a glimpse into United States military history. Numerous self-guided interpretive displays explain how from 1956-1968, San Vicente Mountain was one of sixteen Los Angeles area Nike-Ajax supersonic anti-aircraft missile launch sites. During the Cold War, Nike sites were located in defensive rings surrounding key urban and industrial areas throughout the United States. This site contained ground-based radar and computer systems designed to detect and track hostile aircraft, and to guide the anti-aircraft missiles that would be launched from nearby Sepulveda Basin to their targets.

    The original radar tower now provides visitors with spectacular 360 degree views of the Santa Monica Mountains, the Encino Reservoir and San Fernando Valley, and the Los Angeles Basin. It is one of the region’s premiere locations to watch a Western sunset.

    Hike is a combination of fire roads and some steep ridge trails.  You should be in moderate hiking shape for this night hike.  The first part of the hike will be on a narrow trail and the rest of the hike will be on wide fire roads. At the halfway point, at the top, we will break to share our snacks before we head back down to our cars.  Optional dinner/coffee/snacks/dessert at a local shop afterward.
    There are NO restrooms at the trailhead; if you need to use facilities, please do so before getting to the trailhead. Restrooms and water are at the halfway point, at the top.
     
    For more info about the Nike Missile Tower, please see     http://www.lamountains.com/parks.asp?parkid=54

     
    IMPORTANT: All MOSAIC events require participants to sign a Liability Release Waiver at the event location. If you would like to read the waiver before the event, you can do so at http://www.mosaicla.org/signin.pdf. 
     
    HIKE MEETING PLACE: 
    Meet at the intersection of Mandeville Canyon Rd & Garden Land Rd.

                                         enjoy some goodies together.  PLEASE NOTE: Headlights or flashlights are
                                         useful because the fire road is bumpy and dark near the bottom on the way
