Hike in the Rain Forest in Studio City--Hike date changed due to rain

Yes, there is a trail and place called the rainforest (a small part of it) hidden in the hills of Studio city. A place of high canopy trees, a running stream, and sounds of tranquility from the birds. One of several trails in the park, this trail was featured in the LA Times Outdoors section and boasts a spectacular view of the valley at the top. Along the way, you will encounter an abandoned car and cross several streams. (Last time, there was another abandoned car for sale) Its a semi-moderate hike of 6 miles and 800 ft gain with a good amount of tree shade. Rain postpones. Wilacre Park is located on the NW corner of Laurel Canyon and Fryman in Studio city. 3431 Fryman Rd Studio City, CA 91604. We will meet at the fire-road gate at 11:45 AM,but leave at noon. Bring water, sunscreen, and a snack.

Wilacre Park is located on the NW corner of Laurel Canyon and Fryman in Studio city. 3431 Fryman Rd Studio City, CA 91604. The park has a limited amount of parking and it is for $5. Sometimes parking is free. I suggest free parking in the neighborhood on Laurel Terrace/ Sunshine Terrace just North of Fryman on Laurel Cyn. (Next street light over) The neighborhood on Fryman has been re-zoned for no parking. If your unsure about directions please use mapquest or yahoomaps. Its only about a 3 block walk but isnt that why your coming?

Note: We aren't going to the difficult part of the trail which we did last time--it was too much for some of the novices in this group. If people want to go on on their own, they can.
