AllTrails works great for this hike but includes an out and back portion at the halfway point, we won’t be doing this portion, follow the loop trail only. Walkie talkies will be very helpful for this hike.
Directions to Trailhead: Navigate to: Triunfo Trail Trailhead OR Triunfo Community Park.
From the North San Fernando Valley: Take the 118 Fwy west, through Simi Valley and to the 23 South. Take exit 12A for the 101 Fwy South. Take exit 41, Hampshire St. Turn right onto Hampshire. Turn right onto Triunfo Canyon Road. Turn right onto Tamarack Street. The park will be on your left as you turn onto Tamarack.
From the West San Fernando Valley or the South Bay: Take the 101 Fwy west toward Ventura. Take exit 40, Westlake Blvd. Turn left onto Westlake Blvd. Turn right onto Triunfo Canyon Drive. Turn left onto Tamarack Street, then follow the directions above for parking.
If you need the restroom, turn into the first parking lot on the left, then return and continue up to the second driveway on the left as that is where the trailhead is. Ample free parking. There is a picnic table close to the parking lot.
The Hike: The trailhhead is at the west end of the upper parking lot. There are trail maps with a lot of detail but this specific loop is not marked. Follow the Triunfo Canyon Trail as it gradually ascends up the canyon, at the 0.9 mile point stay to the right (left will be the Brook view trail). After about 1.2 miles, the trail will end in a T junction at the top. This is the Los Robles Trail. Turn left and then follow the Los Robles trail as it veers off to the right. At around the 3 mile point the trail will intersect with the White Horse Canyon Trail. Turn left and follow this trail down into the canyon. There is a short steep portion. At the junction with the Conejo Crest Trail turn right and follow the trail up and over the hill following the signs for the: White Horse Canyon trail to Los Robles. Around the 6 mile point you will see steps straight ahead. We will be taking the trail to the right of the steps (the steps lead up to a great view point and are worth the very short detour). You will now be on the Brook view trail, at the next Y junction, stay to the left to meet up with the Triunfo Canyon trail again, hike this trail to the right and down and back to the trailhead.
