BEAUDRY MOTORWAY

Hello fellow hikers, this week we are going back to the Verdugo Mountains, we are doing The BEAUDRY MOTORWAY. We haven't done this wonderful hike in a while.

Known also as the South End Loop, very conveniently located to Pasadena, Glendale and the Valley. On a clear day, expect views of the San Gabriel Mountains, L.A. basin, the ocean, Catalina, San Jacinto, San Gorgonio and Old Saddleback, plus more. The route is entirely on fire roads, making navigation easy, even if the elevation gain is considerable.

This is a nice uphill hike, so best for intermediate hikers and above, with plenty of great views all around. This is a great workout packed in a short hike. We have a special spot at the top where we'll stop, share a snack with the group and enjoy the 360 degrees breathtaking views of the area.

GPS data: 5.71 miles,

~ 1400" altitude gain,

Dogs ok but leash required

2 hours moving time and 2.5 - 3 hours total

We'll meet at the trail head at the end of Beaudry Blvd. Just park your car on the street and you'll see us just before the dirt road begins, and please keep your voice down since this is a residential neighborhood.

Please be there a few minutes before 7:30am so we can do our stretches.

Bring plenty of water, a hat, some snacks and good stories to tell.

Heavy rain Fri. night or Sat. morning will cancel this hike.

FROM GLENDALE:
Take Glendale Avenue heading north.
Glendale Ave will become La Canada Blvd.
Turn left on Country Club Drive.
Turn left on Beaudry Blvd. (Once you're on Beaudry, go slowly because there are no clear markings for the trailhead.)
You will see a sign that says 15 MPH with an arrow indicating a sharp turn. This is where Beaudry Blvd. turns and becomes Beaudry Terr. You'll see a wire fence in front of you (on the left side of the street) and that's where the hike starts. Find parking on the street and then meet us at the wire fence.
