Park Address: 22400 Devonshire St.; Chatsworth, CA 91311

or facebook page Friends of the Santa Susana Mountains

Organized and led by Santa Susana Pass State Historic Park (SSPSHP) volunteers.

Santa Susana Pass State Historic Park Interpretive hike leaders: 

Dale Chaloukian, Marc Davidson, Elizabeth Harris

John Luker, Teena Takata, Peter Ullrich

Wear sunscreen and long pants because the brush is thick and sticky. A light jacket or long-sleeved shirt is also recommended. Although we try to avoid poison oak, sometimes it is encountered. Wear sturdy hiking boots. A walking stick is preferred by some hikers. Bring plenty of water. A hat is also recommended. 

The SSPSHP is primitive – this means that there are no toilets, so please plan accordingly. 

Well-behaved dogs are welcome as long as they are on leash. Please remember to bring enough water for your four-legged friend? All minors must be accompanied by an adult. 

Rain cancels, even light rain. Heat of 95 degrees or more also cancels.
