(This hike is cross-posted with the Los Angeles Hiking Meetup group--so just because you don't see anyone has RSVP'd here does not mean that no one will be at the hike!)

NOTE: CHANGE IN PARKING LOCATION FOR START OF HIKE

PARK ON DON LORENZO DRIVE, WHICH IS LOCATED OFF OF LA BREA AVENUE

Take 2 hours EVERY MONDAY--we get a 360 degree view from Downtown L.A. to Malibu to Palos Verdes and can watch the sunset.

WHEN: 6:00 pm to sunset, which is when the rangers start telling us to go home.

MEET: Lots of cool people

MEET WHERE?: at the Kenneth Hahn park--at the top of the Baldwin Hills.

DIFFICULTY: Easy, then hard in the middle, with 200 feet elevation gain on a steep, but short trail. Then we do more civilized relatively level trails, but there will be a 2 or 3 more short steep climbs later.

Lots of restrooms and water fountains.

PARKING: free.

DOGS: are allowed in the park on a leash

BRING WATER, FLASHLIGHT OR HEADLAMP, COMFORTABLE SHOES, MAYBE A HAT IF IT'S HOT...

LEGAL STUFF: by going on this hike, you agree to assume all risks of this hike, and that no one at Meetup including the organizer is responsible for your safety. See the Meetup terms of service especially paragraph 6.2:
