Stairways of Pain (Urban Hike)

Start Time: Try to arrive by 9:15am. The hike will start at 9:30am.
There is street parking on Echo Park Avenue and the streets that intersect Baxter Street.

Description:
This is a very tough hike, for those looking for a challenging workout. The hike will have plenty of steep and very long staircases (over 1700 total steps going up), several of them will come back to back. The hike will be over 5 miles and end within 2 hours and 30 minutes. We will start in Echo Park and cross over to Silver Lake. The pace will be moderate and the group will wait for everyone at the top of each stairway, we won't leave anyone behind. It is a loop hike, so we finish at the starting location.
