Los Angeles Hiking Group

We will leave at 9 am sharp. Parking : parking lot near entrance gate. More parking on Mulholland but pay attention to signs.

This is a loop I do weekly. Each loop is approximately 2 miles/50 minutes. You can do as few or as many as you want. We'll go down the fire road to East ridge then come up West ridge fire road. I usually do 3 laps.

You can exit at the Mulholland gate after any lap. I do intermediate pace.

If you have never done a hike of this distance or difficulty before, this hike will be very difficult for you. It may well be your death march. The mountain is not going anywhere. We will schedule this event again in the future. Do it when your mind and body are ready. Hiking is a recreation, not a suicide mission.

Join us for a social walk around beautiful Downtown Burbank! This area has become one of our favorite areas to walk because it's safe, clean, and lively at night.

Strong winds/rain will cancel the event (unless we decide to walk indoors around the mall).

Let's get some steps in while socializing and making new connections.

I recommend bringing the following:

• First aid kit (for accidental trips, falls, scrapes, etc.)
• Water
• Flashlight

• Jacket (in case it gets chilly)
• Friendly attitude

The Urbanish Adventurists which includes legendary walkers Joe and Lori (legends in their own minds) collectively known as JOLO and EAGLE invite you to explore Toluca Lake. We will be doing a 5 mileish walk around Toluca Lake and surrounding areas.

We do our best to keep the walk in a 2 hour range, however could go longer by a mile or so and sometimes goes over time posted.

Comfortable shoes, water, flashlight and a good attitude are suggested items to bring but not required.

Remember it is suggested you get a minimum 10,000 steps a day. We can all achieve that healthy goal together. We help motivate each other. Come out to walk and socialize with nice friendly people and experience a good workout at the same time. Hope to see you at our next urbanish walking adventure.

We appreciate our regular walkers and always encourage new walkers to give our walk a shot.
