After a disappointing docent hiking tour by the National Wildlife Federation and Cougar Conservancy of the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing event I decided to find a hike to actually see the wildlife crossing. You can hike from only the south side. Ignore the north route I drew above. The south has a cleared hiking trail all the time. The north side has no view point at all. I hiked it personally and you can't see the crossing from that side because of a ridge. You can see it by walking on the side of the freeway on the north side but that's illegal.

South side hike is 1,300 feet up a hill on a cleared hiking trail. GPS start 34.136984400411855, -118.72892708553738 GPS end 34.13617430519416, -118.73339603254912 . You park on the road which is 27571 Agoura Rd, Agoura Hills, California 91301. There are signs there showing you the hike. There are two great view sites just 100 ft up the trail. It's called Abrams Trailhead on the map. No need to go to the top. Unfortunately you can only see the two side retaining walls and the top of the middle platform from the south side.

Below are pics I took August 29, 2023 of the south and north sides of the 101 looking at the crossing. 

SOUTH SIDE














NORTH SIDE














The culverts are the ones used by P22 and other mountain lions to cross the freeways. Bring sun protection, water, wear tall boots, long pants, long shirt so you don't have to worry as much about ticks and brush. No sandals, open toed shoes or shorts. Don't walk on the freeway because it's illegal. Here are live cams so you can see current temperature, clearing.
