After meandering among the rocks, the trail makes another earnest ascent to a saddle within sight of Rocky Peak Road. An isolated rock outcropping affords views of the Santa Monica Mountains and Simi Valley. At the intersection with Rocky Peak Trail is a bench to take a breather upon. Those hikers bound for Rocky Peak will turn left on the dirt road and begin the ascent. The reward for reaching the peak is a commanding vista of the San Fernando Valley, Simi Valley, the high peaks of Los Padres National Forest, Anacapa Island and the Santa Barbara Channel.
Dependable parking is available in the flat turnouts just north of the freeway.
If you continue north on Kuehner one-third mile, you'll find a few roadside parking spaces right by the signed trailhead. If you park down by the freeway, add about half a mile to the round-trip distance of this hike.
