Explore Rancho Sierra Vista / Satwiwa, Newbury Park, Thousand Oaks, California
Two threads of local history intertwine to establish the identity of Rancho Sierra Vista/ Satwiwa. Ranch structures and introduced grasses represent over a century of ranching, while native plants reflect an environment that Chumash Indians lived in for thousands of years.
The gentle slopes yield trails that picnickers, hikers, bikers, and equestrians enjoy during every season. Big Sycamore Canyon Trail descends from Satwiwa to the Pacific Ocean along a historic Chumash trade route.
The Satwiwa Loop Trail is designated for hikers only, and meanders through an area considered sacred by the Chumash. Keep an eye out for deer and coyote in the coastal sage scrub, hawks and falcons soaring overhead, and sweeping views of Boney Mountain and Sycamore Canyon. Follow all trail guidelines by only biking or horseback riding on designated trails.
The main parking lot is open from 8:00 AM to sunset. You may still visit if the gate is closed (parking is available in front of the gate). Parking is available any time at the Wendy Trailhead.
Restrooms and water fountains are located by main parking lot and by the Satwiwa Culture Center.
