Description

This is a local favorite. It's a tough 2.5 mile climb that has many tricky technical sections (loose rocks, boulders, a few tight switchbacks). It will surely challenge a wide range of riders, and it has some fast flowy downhill as well.

One of the tougher sections that may require a dismount.

Jan 1, 2014 near Santa S…, CA

Dawn light on the ridge above Chumash. Trail is steep but relatively smooth in the first mile.

Morning light, looking down on the first mile of the Chumash Trail coming up from Simi Valley.

Looking back down Chumash from the junction with Rocky Peak Trail (crossing in the foreground). A perfect cross-country / down-country descent with technical rocky outcroppings and smooth but often narrow singletrack all the way to the bottom.

Looking up the last rock wall before the junction at Rocky Peak Trail (which you can see in the upper left). One of the hardest sections to clean, and a good challenge coming back down, too.

Nov 15, 2022 near Santa S…, CA

Looking up into the last couple hundred yards before the junction with Rocky Peak Trail. This last stretch offers half a dozen small rocky sections, a couple are deceptively tricky. Good challenge, great fun!
