Summary: This hikes takes you up and over some very interesting rock features including giant boulders, unusual caves, and various huge rock outcroppings. The views are quite nice, and on a clear day you can see to the ocean. After a rain, this hike can be quite breathtaking with little water falls caused by water weeping from the rocks. The only down side to the hike is that it is adjacent to a major freeway, so don't expect wilderness solitude. Trailhead: From Highway 118/Simi Valley Freeway in Simi Valley, exit on Kuehner Drive. Drive 0.3 mikes north to the signed trailhead on the right.

Reviewed by Marina on 6/17/2004 Lovely rock formations, lots of opportunities for scrambling. Great wildflowers in spring. I usually do Hummingbird in conjunction with Rocky Peak. Starting at Rocky Peak, and going down Hummingbird to Kuehner, it's an easy three miles, mostly downhill. When I don't have time to hike the whole length, I start at the bottom of hummingbird, and just hike as far as the caves. 
Reviewed by RSD on 5/17/2004 No trailhead marked off Kuehner. The hike is a decent and consistent elevation gain. Trail meets up with Rocky Peak Road where one can continue back further into the hills. Wildflowers still blooming as of May 16 2004. Notice: Traveling in the backcountry can be hazardous.
