Start Time: Try to arrive by 6:15pm, the hike will start at 6:30pm.

There is plenty of parking on Vermont Blvd., north of the golf course. Do not park in the golf course parking lot.

Description: This hike will include stairs in Los Feliz and trails in Griffith Park . The first mile will be on paved streets with 4 stairways (we will go up over 400 steps). The rest of the hike (at least 2 miles) will be on trails and fire roads. Several of the stairways and trails will be steep, the total elevation gain will be 400 feet. I will wait for everyone at the top of the stairways and uphill trails. The purpose will be to get a workout so the pace will be moderate. The hike will be over 3 miles and end under 2 hours, we will end at the starting location.

REMINDERS:

• Bring plenty of water.

• Wear comfortable hiking/trail shoes.

• Always watch out for vehicles when crossing streets.

• Bring a flashlight.
