Start time: Try to arrive by 9:30am. The hike will start at 9:45am. There is street parking available on Sunset Blvd, Hoover St. and the other streets in the area. Make sure to read parking signs.

Description:
This is a workout hike that will include going up steep streets and at least 8 stairways (over 900 steps going up). The purpose is to get a workout so the pace will be fast moderate. The hike will include the Silver Lake, Los Feliz, and Franklin Hills neighborhoods. After we finish the stairs, we will take flat streets to Churro Borough (http://www.churroborough.com/) to enjoy some treats. I will wait at the top of the stairways for everyone. 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.

Note: The plan is to arrive at noon to Churro Borough, that is when they open. There is always a line to order at Churro Borough, so plan on waiting in line before ordering. If you don't want to go to Churro Borough after the stairs, you have the option to head back to the meeting location.

REMINDERS
