Urban Hike - Northeast LA Hilltops

• On MLK Monday, we will explore several hills in northeast LA (Ascot Hills Park, Rose Hill Park, Flattop/Radio Hill) plus the neighborhoods in between them including Lincoln Heights. We should enjoy fabulous views of downtown LA and the San Gabriels on the way. Our route will also take us up Telluride Street, one of the steepest streets in Los Angeles. Approximately 25% of the walk will be on dirt paths.
