Echo Park Lake and Stairs (Urban Hike)

Start time: Try to arrive by 8:45am. The hike will start at 9:00am.

There is street parking available on Alvarado St. and the other streets in the area. It is Sunday so metered parking should be free, but make sure to read parking signs.
Description:
This is a workout hike, it will include going up at least 8 stairways(over a 1,000 steps going up), up and down several steep streets, and a full loop around Echo Park lake. The lotus flowers at the lake should be in full bloom which should make for a great view. The hike will be over 6 miles and will end within 3 hours. It is a loop hike so we will finish back at the starting location. The purpose is to have a workout so the pace will be fast moderate. I will wait at the top of the stairways for everyone.
