Name: Urban Hike to the Steepest Street in Los Angeles
Start: 2016-01-03T09:00:00-08:00
End: 2016-01-03T12:00:00-08:00
Location: McDonald's

Start time: Try to arrive by 9:00am, the hike will start at 9:15am.

There is street parking on York Blvd. and the streets in the area. Make sure to check parking signs.

Description: This will be a difficult urban hike, it will include several steep uphill streets and steep staircases (including going up Eldred St., the 3rd steepest street in the world (http://losangelesquickies.wordpress.com/2011/05/16/eldred-staircase-aka-el-dread/)). We will hike through Highland Park and Mt. Washington. The purpose will be to get a workout. We will go at a moderate pace and I will wait for everyone at the top of each staircase and steep street. The hike will be over 6 miles and take over 2 hours. This will be a loop hike, so we will end at the starting location.

Here is a cool video to get an idea of how steep Eldred St. is:
