Towsley Canyon

Towsley Canyon Loop (6.5 miles) - Calgrove exit off the 5 in Santa Clarita

Start of the trail. 0.1 miles down. 6.4 to go.

This is what happens when the ground throws up. Also future site of Volcano 2: Volcano takes Santa Clarita

About halfway up the mountain looking back towards the 5. Little trivia for ya, did you know that the 5 freeway is the only prime number freeway in Southern California?* (* not actual fact)

This picture belongs on the label of a beer called something like Weissinheferzizen.

I'm calling this one artistic expressionism.

All dressed up with nowhere to swim.

I was sort of hoping that this tree would rip itself out of the ground and start walking like in Lord of the Rings. It did not.

I can't decide if this looks like a dog or a Dutch clog. Either way, worst Rorchach test ever.

Hanging out on the sandstone walls of awesomeness and looking down onto what should be a river.

Hike rating:

4 out of 5 angry pig heads.
