What we’re about
Meet your traveling friends! We are building a community of friends, not only from the Southern California area, but from all over the world, who like to travel.
If you love to travel I'm sure you've been there: You decide on a place you want to go to. Maybe you even start planning the trip. Then you try to find friends to go with you, and everyone has all sorts of reasons (excuses...) why they can't go. Or even worse, sometimes you even schedule the trip, and your friends pull out!
Well, that's why we started 1000 Treks Travel Community. We are a group of friends who like to travel. We are welcoming, we are fun, we are inclusive; and, most of all, we want to see everything there is to see and do everything there is to do!
Join us and let's build a community to see the world together!

See all- Wake Boarding, Wake Surfing, Water Skiing, Tubing, and Water Fun. All Levels.Los Angeles Wake, Castaic, CA
It’s the last official day of the summer. Let’s close it with a bang with a super-fun day on the lake.
We’re going to Castaic Lake, less than one hour away from LA, and I’m renting a boat for us. You can wake board, ski and tube. They will have all the equipment, and will teach you if you have never done it before. The water will be at 80 degrees! I can’t imagine a better way to end the summer!
By the way, for tubing, you can choose to just be towed, or if you are little crazier, you can have the boat captain try to knock you off the tube! That was one of the funnest thing we have ever done. It is so much fun, we were laughing on the tube. When was the last time you did something so much fun that you were not just smiling, you were laughing??? 😂
By the way, wakeboarding is pretty easy. Most people get it pretty well the very first time they try.
The price will be $95 for skiing, wake boarding, or wake surfing, and 50 for tubing (we can put two people on a tube).
To pay, send either $95 (ski or wake boarding), $50 (tubing), or $145 for both to:

All right, I’ll see you guys over there!

- Crazy Cool Movie Experience: The Matrix in Shared RealityCOSM Los Angeles, Inglewood, CA
I've been seeing this a lot recently, and it looks like the newest and coolest movie experience: Shared Reality, a massive 87-foot LED dome, with visuals that dynamically interact with the action on screen. It's like if IMAX had a baby with Universal Studio rides.
And what better movie to experience it for the first time with than The Matrix???
THE PLAN
The movie starts at 10:00pm, and doors open at 9:30, so we'll meet at 9:30 and leisurely go in. Once we have the group set, we can also plan on getting together for a drink or dinner beforehand.
They sell out pretty early on, which is why I got tickets for the end of September. I suggest you get yours ASAP.
Here is my seat: Level 2, Row D, High Top Seat 17
They only have one row of individual tickets on level 2, so I imagine if we buy them all now, we’ll be bound to seat together.
Here is the link to buy the ticket.
Here is the venue on Google Maps.
All right, see you guys there!

- Super Moon HikeGriffith Park - Merry Go Round Parking Lot 1, Los Angeles, CA
THIS HIKE HAS BEEN CROSS POSTED ON SEVERAL MEETUP GROUPS AND PLATFORMS.
October full moon is a super moon! And guess what? We are going on a super full moon hike to one of our super favorite places, and we are going to bring some super wine and super snacks, and have a little super party under the super moon!
A little trivia for you: Super moon is:
A) When a strange "S" sign appears on the moon. Scientists have been baffled by it for over 20,000 years!
B) A moon dedicated to Superman. They also have Batmoon, Spidermoon, Aquamoon, and Wondermoon.
C) A full moon that coincides with perigee (the time when the moon is the closest to the Earth). A super moon is up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than a regular full moon.
If you want to find out the answer, you're gonna have to come.
We will be going to Mt. Hollywood on Griffith Park from the Merry Go Round parking lot. It's an easy hike, and Mt. Hollywood overlooks Downtown LA's skyline. The view is breathtaking, especially at night, and especially with the full moon over the city!
THE PLAN
We'll meet at the parking lot at 4:30pm. The hike is about 2.5 miles each way, with 1,200 feet elevation gain. Fairly easy.
It should take us 1 to 1.5 hours to get to Mt. Hollywood. Maybe 1:45 if you hike at a slower pace. The moon rises at 5:15pm, and sun sets at 6:32pm, So we'll get to see the sun and the moon in the sky at the same time.
We'll share wine, snacks, and have an amazing time.On this hike, people usually leave when they feel like it, but I'll probably head down at around 9pm.

BRING
- If you are a photographer, bring your good camera, because you will get some amazing pictures.
- A headlamp or flashlight. It's full moon, but we're coming back down at night.
- A good jacket. It can get pretty chilly at night up there.
- Water. At least one liter (I bring two).
- A bottle of wine or whatever you will want to drink and share (juice, soda, water on-the-rocks).
- Something to eat and share. Some good ideas are fruit, cheese & crackers, chips, or anything that is easy to carry and eat on a picnic. But feel free to bring fried chicken, shepherd’s pie, meatloaf, mashed potatoes and gravy.
- Your own reusable plastic cup, plastic plate, and utensils.
- Paper towels or napkins. Yup, I bet you weren't thinking about that, and would have gone, "oh shit!" when you needed it. Now you will have it. :-)
- A blanket to lay on the ground.
- A plastic bag to bring back whatever trash you produce.DO NOT BRING
- Dogs. Sorry, and we had an incident with a dog on one of our hikes, so, as much as I love dogs, we can't have them on our hikes anymore.
- A bad and whining attitude. We'll already have enough wine. If you are a wino, yes, come! If you are not a wino, but are a wateroo, a sodoo, or a juicoo, you are welcome, too. But if you are a whiner, nope! You stay home! :-D
- Hard liquor. We're not there to get shitfaced and fall off the trail on the way back. That did happen once, which is why I now make sure to mention it. We're there to have a good time. Drinking to the point nobody is having a good time anymore is never our goal.
OK! Fun, fun, fun! See you guys at the trailhead.
Eduardo.
P.S. can I ask you a favor? Don't be an LA flake and not show up. Having fun is the reason why we live, so come! You'll be glad you did.
