Approach Trail Map<br>

From the parking lot: Look out at the ocean then head up the trail to your right. Follow the trail and stay to the left of the water tank and keep going. The trail opens up and you'll see the no bikes sign (Blue Circle) and go right here. Follow it down past a mellow slab and then you'll see the wall on your left.

Bury Your Poop. Pack Out Your Paper.

Beautiful ! The Las Virgenes Water District water tank, at Saddle Peak, with zero graffiti.

Leave your Toilet Paper and feces smears in the gym. If you have to go outside, bury it or pack it out!

Toilet Paper, Egg Shells, Cigarette Butts, Old Chalk Balls, ....all left by Thoughtless Clueless climbers.

You bring your dog to Stunt Ranch State Park and throw a bag full of its feces into the bushes. HOW OBTUSE CAN YOU BE??<br>
$240 fine for having your dog in the Park and $1,000 for littering. The dog is welcome, the misbehaving climber is not!
