Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook hike - 2 Hrs- followed by dinner

This is a fun, exhilarating hike with great city views. It can be a

beginner's hike if you take the switchback trail or road

instead of the steps to the top of the hill. The rest of the hike is fairly flat.

Take 2 hours, climb the 282 TALL stairs or take the switch-back trail to the top--we get a 360 degree view from Downtown L.A. to Malibu to Palos Verdes and can watch the sunset. (There are three routes to the top: the stairs, the switchback trail, and Hetzler Road.) Then we explore the various trails on the hilltop.

While Rex is taking time off to study for the CA Bar Exam in July (yay Rex), and to maintain a sense of community and consistency, I have volunteered to lead his hikes in the usual order minus Cheviot Hills. Don't be surprised if you catch glimpses of him on the trail. The usual suspects are welcome to assist me with navigation.
