Hiking the Santa Ynez Falls on November 20th

Hello Everyone,

With the recent success of our events during Eco-Fest, we have decided to plan another hike before the end of the semester on November 20th, 2011. Like before we will be meeting in lot 1 at CSULB to set up carpools at 8am and we will be leaving promptly at 8:30am. I have attached the description of the trail, note that the trail is an out-and-back type hike, about 6 miles and could take potentially around 4-5 hours to complete depending on how large our group is. Below are the directions and the trail description, taken from localhikes.com

Summary: This is a great hike into the dense and somewhat wild Santa Ynez Canyon. Just as you begin to descend the Santa Ynez trail, look to the left at a grassy knoll. Its not unusual to see deer feeding. A little further down the trail are some neat sandstone formations you can climb up on for a dramatic view of the mountains and ocean.

The last couple of hundred yards to the waterfall requires some climbing over boulders and one large slippery boulder has a rope to help you over. Once at the waterfall, the brave of heart can climb up a step face, with the assistance of a rope left in place, to get to the top of the falls. The shear walls of the deep cut canyon are quite spectacular.

---

Trailhead: From Topanga Canyon Boulevard, turn east on Entrada Road; that's to the left if you are coming from the San Fernando Valley. Follow Entrada Road by turning left at every opportunity until you arrive at Topanga State Park. The trailhead is at the end of the parking lot. (Lat:34.0928 Lon:-118.58707)

Thank you, hope to see you guys there!

Then on Wednesday November 9th morning, we will have tabling from 11am-2pm on the friendship walk on campus, swing by to hang out with us or check out the other vendors which will be environmentally focused. Also, next week on Monday November 14th from 3pm-4:30, CSULB Green Campus will be hosting a green internship panel in the USU Ballrooms, check it out if you're interested in learning how to attain an internship in our field of study.

Subject: CSULB's ECO Fest Update

Hello all,

ECO Fest is just around the corner, specifically this upcoming Wednesday on November 9, 2011! I have attached two documents to this email which include the directions to the campus and a map of the campus.

On the day of the event, please arrive on the campus by 10:15am to allow adequate time get situated and set up. Your free parking permit(s) may be picked up at the Visitor Information Center where you must state that you are present for ECO Fest and the name of the organization of which you are representing. The personnel may then direct you to the correct parking lot and or the loading dock. I will have a member of the Conservation Commission at the loading dock at 10am to 11am in case there is anything you would like to drop off so you won't have to drag all of your valuables across the campus.

Also, please reply to this email to confirm the amount of parking permits you require (limit two free parking permits per organization), the number of people who will be coming to represent your organization and their pizza preference (pepperoni/cheese/vegan). Light refreshments will be provided during the event while Zpizza's pizza will be provided for all organizations and their volunteers near the end of the event at 1:30pm.

Thank you all for making this event possible! I truly believe that this ECO Fest will be a great benefit to the campus community. Do feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Hike on Sunday October 23rd - Escondido Falls

Hello Everyone,

I hope your semester is going well and the stress of mid-terms has not gotten to you yet. We have a hike planned for Sunday October 23rd at Escondido Falls in Malibu, CA. We will have carpools set up on Sunday morning on campus at 8am, we will be meeting in Parking Lot 1 in front of the International House at CSULB, we will be leaving promptly at 8:30-8:45am, so if you want to carpool please do not be late. Here is a brief description below, along with the coordinates and directions to the trailhead if you prefer to drive yourself and meet us there, this place is about 30-45 minutes away from CSULB. If you get lost or are running a little late, you can call/text the President of the club Michael, his number is (714) 342-7782

Summary: This hike takes you to one of the gems in the Santa Monica Mountains, the spectacular multi-tiered Escondido Falls. The hike starts out on the pavement, passing million dollar homes along Winding Way with lovely ocean views. After about a mile, an obvious trail takes you down into the lovely Escondido Canyon, criss-crossing creek 4 or 5 times. As you approach the base of the lower falls, you can see the water dropping over the lip of the 150 ft upper falls in the distance. The lower falls are about 50 foot high and trickle over a moss covered wall into a lovely shallow pool. This is the turn around point for those not comfortable with a bit of rock scrambling. 

To get to the upper falls, take the trail to the right of the lower falls up an obvious gully. At the top of the gully, go left and follow the stream over some small cascades and boulders to the base of the upper falls. This is an amazing site, with water tumbling over 3 or 4 tiers, finally falling into a deep pool.

---

Trailhead: From Kanan Road, drive south a mile or so on Pacific Coast Highway (1) to East Winding Way and turn left. The signed parking lot is on the left side of Winding Way. The trail actually follows the paved Winding Way for about a mile, after which you will see an obvious trail to the left. Follow the trail until it hits the stream, then just follow the trail upstream until you come to the lower falls. (Lat: 34.02594 Lon: -118.7839)

This week's meeting and a hike planned

Hey everybody!

For those of you that did not attend this week's small meeting, we had a relatively brief meeting. I have attached the minutes in a document. 

We plan on going on a group hike October 22 or 23rd in the local mountains (location TBD). It will be a moderate and enjoyable hike - nothing too intense. If you would like to go, we would appreciate feedback to let us know which date works better for the majority of us. Please email us as soon as possible to let us know which one works for you and we will let you know what the consensus is soon.

Next week we hope to have a larger turn-out for our guest speakers - Brianna, Allie, and possibly Felix from Green Campus - will discuss what they're all about as well as their plans for the rest of the year and beyond. We hope to see you there!

Thank you!
