# Event Details - **Event Name**: 🌿🌳 Murphy Ranch: A Hidden Canyon Adventure 🥾 - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 10 Oct, 2026 at 07:00 am – Sat, 10 Oct, 2026 at 12:00 pm (-07:00) - **Event Description**: DETAILS- #alaska #dayhikes #weircanyontrail #santiagooaksregionalpark #localhikes #heritagehikingclub #hike #trekking #hikingwithdogs #hike #zionadventure #yosemiteadventure #yellowstoneadventure This is a well-kept trail tucked away in the nice residential area of Whittier, known as Friendly Hills. We will start the trail surrounded by a variety of trees, from eucalyptus to pine and oak trees which make you feel like you’re far away from city life. This is a nice 8 mile hike in distance, it starts off with a gradual to challenging incline that consists of a few switch backs that is guaranteed to get your heart pumping. The views at the top are worth the hike in itself. On a clear day, you can see downtown LA and on the opposite side even views of Orange County! We will continue down a short slightly steep but doable trail, which flattens out into a single track trail. We will reach a fork in the road and take the trail to the left and head on. This trail is mostly visited by the locals in the area. And is a definite hidden gem! Some of the wildlife you will see is squirrels, butterflies, birds and sometimes goats that are put there annually to eat up the excess vegetation.
