The gregarious Dodger Joe will once again lead a hike from his beloved 'Top of Reseda' trailhead, this time to the amazing and scrumptiously beautiful Eagle Rock (pics below), doing a loop that will include the heavily shaded Garapito Trail (and others). It will be getting dark by the end of this hike, so you may want to bring a headlamp or flashlight, though there will also be a bright moon with 84% illumination. Be sure to bring plenty of water (2L recommended), hat, sunscreen, hiking poles if you use them, and a snack or lunch. Sherpas are optional.

If you do not come to a COMPLETE stop, your vehicle will be filmed and you WILL receive a ticket in the mail.

Here is a view sitting ON Eagle Rock, where you can see the Pacific in the distance:
