Trailhead

Do not attempt this trip if you do not have good route finding skills, good map and compass skills and/or a GPS. Although, I wouldn't have needed any of these to get there, it was easy to follow, just take precautions. It could be easy to get turned around in canyons.

Drive 4 miles east of Chiriaco Summit and exit Hayfield Road. Make a left and head toward the mountains. At 1.1 miles, turn slightly left onto a bumpy dirt road marked by a sign that says "Private." Follow for 1.7 miles, turn left at the fork and at .1 miles there is a parking area on your right.

Follow the wash along the mountainside. Follow it past the first canyon and turn right into the second larger canyon at 1.2 miles. There were ample footprints to follow on my trip. Most of the difficult decisions were ducked. I thought about knocking them down, but I didn't. Take the easy way and follow the footprints.

To the north is a road and a mine. I looked but did not find Carey's Cave.




Description


This is a so-called "secret" hike. Although from the number of footprints and people signing the register, one might wonder just how such a "secret" got to be so publicized.

Patty Furbush mentions the castle in her book, but she does not mention the route to get there. I found it by looking at the topo maps - it is clearly marked. Then I used my GPS and plotted some waypoints. I then looked online and confirmed my suspicions. No one posts clear directions or GPS coordinates, but they do give directions to the parking area and a general idea of the route.

I will not divulge specifics either, but leave it to you to find this "secret" for yourself. Please leave it the way you found it. This magnificent piece of history has existed in the desert for 60+ years, and as someone on a blog put it, "This isn't the kind of place you want all of Southern California to go to!"

If you go and can not find it, I would be happy to help out, but I will not give out specifics.

Of Ventura - take the north 33, remain you on 33 and fitting you up,
so that it spreads, if you reach the wunderliche city of Ojai. They
must left after the grocer's shop memory and the patrol Nm universe
and clock to the stay on the 33 form. Continue north for approximately
30 miles. Turn to the right at signatory road the Kiefer mountain.
There are two Campgrounds, which fill above during the weekends, but
are appropriate play during the week. Drive for the end of the road
and park you - begin then to move. They follow the dirt road for a
point, until them spread on their left. Take the high road and the
left address. The road closes during the winter and if there is snow.


Description
This is a good migration, and you do not have to be in the best
condition. They receive some large backcountry opinions, some
Hoechstvistas, and any large surveys from nameless saddle. On the full
days you receive some surprising of views to the guidance islands.
Them summit Reyes point, it are not really you away from the right
address of the road continue. It is very close to trailhead, and the
points along this trace have numbers instead of names. But, the trace
sumptuously most the way schattiert, thus, even if it is very hot out,
is pleasant this migration. There is a nice forest coverage on the
trace, which forms this migration perfectly for dogs, and you can even
arrive the probability at range from an endangered California Kondor.
I have friends, who saw her in the Campground. Looking into the Piedra
Blanca and the Sespe wilderness is breath-robbing; the mountain slopes
are geplaetschert and beautiful. They must not have a place of
destination on this, fair revolution around, if you feel like it.
