Los Angeles Hiking Group

Please read this entire write up. This is a moderately strenuous hike.
The hikes are about 2 hours long and about 4 miles, and those miles include steep ascents and descents, most often on single track trails. Some trails can be uneven and slippery. We move at a fairly rapid pace. but pause occasionally to enjoy the scenery, smell the flowers, and take pictures of the amazing views. No two hikes are the same, and we go all over the park.

Please don't be late, as we aim to leave on time, 4:00 p.m. Good idea to arrive around 4:15 so that we can start at 4:00 p.m. Don't forget to bring water and wear good hiking shoes with lug soles.

A note re time -- hike start times change occasionally, depending on the weather and the time of year. Please check the start time when you sign up, but an e-mail will be sent out whenever the time is changed. .

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 urban-ish walking adventure.

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