Welcome to the Community Hiking Club website!

The Community Hiking Club is based in Santa Clarita, California. We organize hikes and educate the public regarding the various wilderness lands of Southern California. All ages are welcome to join us. Our hikes are typically easy to moderate, with some more challenging treks.

Please look around our website. Editor-in-Chief, Dianne Erskine Hellrigel, has spent many hours compiling information about wilderness area trails and wildlife.

We continue to grow and look forward to you joining us for a wonderful outing!
