Brigg's Terrace Urban Hill Hike (La Crescenta-La Canada), Level: Moderate+

Come join us for a great workout, for exploring a lovely nearby area that many may have not explored before and for meeting new people!

We'll meet in La Crescenta and head up to the neighborhoods right up against the mountains. First we'll make a loop to the steep winding streets with towering trees in Brigg's Terrace in La Canada Flintridge, then we'll backtrack just a bit and after that we'll finish off with a bigger loop around the foothills of La Crescenta. The elevation gain is M-shaped.

LEVEL: Intermediate Plus for speed, length and inclines. We are a friendly group that loves to socialize and encourage newcomers, but please note that moderate+ level of cardio fitness and brisk walking speed are required.

LENGTH: 5.9 miles, 1200 ft gain, no stairs, 2 1/4h- 2 1/2h.

SPEED: Workout speed, above most moderate hikes, but below advanced. We'll take a short pause to re-group at the top the steepest hills. There will be no sweep, bring a phone for navigation just in case you want to leave early.

BRING: Exercise outfit, workout shoes, sunscreen and water.

LOCATION: We'll meet at 9am for introductions and take off sharply at 9.05am.

PARKING: The park has a lot for parking.

RESTROOMS: At the park, see pic. Please be back by 9.05am.

PLEASE NO CRASHING! Urban hikes do not work well with large groups. I "overbook" events in anticipation of some last-minute dropouts, so you cannot count on those spots will be available. The wait list, if needed, generally clears in order, but members with a good attendance record and a posted picture (LA Hiking Group rule) may get priority.

LIABILITY: The organizer is an uncompensated and untrained volunteer. By joining this event each member accepts full responsibility for knowing their limits, for all injuries, health issues, material losses, assessing all risks and for getting lost. Each member shall make their guests aware of these policies and releases the host from all liability.
