Conejo Ridge Open Space in Thousand Oaks
/
The Conejo Ridge Open Space is located in Thousand Oaks in a 406 acre area enclosed roughly as follows:
Rancho Road, Rimrock Road and the Los Padres Open Space on the west.
Los Robles Trail on the south.
The industrial park off of Conejo Ridge Avenue (Athletic Society, PTS Furniture, Marty’s Hobbies, etc.) on the east.
Highway 101 on the north.
While I have not completely explored this area, I do find it a neat place for views of the Conejo Valley. One access point is at the west end of the parking lot of Athletic Society Westlake Village that faces the 101. The trail briefly parallels the adjacent businesses in a southward direction, then veers west. It is a single track trail that is surprisingly well maintained.
At the top you’ll be treated to views towards the Conejo Grade on the west, Highway 23 and beyond on the north and Ladyface Mountain in Agoura Hills towards the east. You’ll also see what the traffic looks like on the 101 down below.
You can continue southwest bound to catch other trails and trailheads I believe, but I have not personally tried it. Comment if you have!
