WEST VALLEY HIKE SCHEDULE
Operated During the COVID-19 Pandemic

During the COVID-19 pandemic, regular OTP hikes were cancelled. However local hikes were conducted with smaller regional groups.

The West Valley carpool and Chatsworth carpool conducted hikes principally in the Santa Monica Mountains, Simi Hills and Santa Susana Mountains. Hikes generally started at 8:00 am every Wednesday unless otherwise indicated.

Active members participating in these hikes included Roland Bassett, Laura Braverman, Jim Carlin, John Chady, Antoinette Fasheh, John Fasheh, Joel Feinblatt, Shirley Feinblatt, Carol Hartung, Jim Harting, Ron Piekunka, Vicky Ritter, Phil Rutherford and Ralph Shoukry.

Links below are generally to the previous regular OTP hike descriptions done before the COVID-19 shutdown.  These local hikes were not assigned a new OTP hike #.  Several new hikes link to AllTrails descriptions.
