I rode from Albertson's (on the right), following the red line, up the switchbacks we worked on yesterday (in the middle). Reino Road is at the bottom; the view is from the east, looking west. Dos Viento would be in the background.

This is the end of the trail we worked on.

I decided to leave my bike here and walk up the impending trail

A few yards further on, you crest a hill and can see Old Boney and the trails at the top of Sycamore Canyon.

Very soon, after just a few yards more, the trail becomes somewhat indistinct.

At this point, my bike is about 100 yards behind me.

Pretty soon the trail starts to open up again.

But then it starts to fork so the true path is hard to follow.

Back at the end of the new trail where I left my bike, looking towards Conejo Peak, you can see the houses of Dos Vientos.

On the way back down, looking over Reino Rd (in the middle), you can see the trails on the other side that this trail will connect to.

From the east side of Reino Rd, looking back at the switchbacks we were working on yesterday, you can see the storm catch basin in the foreground, and a tiny bit of the duck pond as well.

On the east side of Reino Rd, the trail is rutted and hard to climb, and soon comes to a section next to the fence that is impossible to climb. The fork on the other side was just as bad.

A trailhead on Walter Ave. The next picture shows the sign close up so you can read it.

According to a recent Acorn, the developer originally wanted to build 200 homes on this site, but reduced it to 24 on Sept 13th.
