Sunday Night Hike From The Greek Theater

Our meeting location for this Sunday's hike is at The Greek Theatre which is located at 2700 North Vermont Avenue Los Angeles, California, 90027. We'll meet at the white benches on the sidewalk in front of the Greek Theater Box office building, which is a small building just north of and next to the Greek Theater. Parking is in Lot G and on the streets close by. Click on the map to enlarge.

The hike will be about 2 to 2.5 hours and will be about 4+ miles. It is a moderate+ to FAST-PACED hike, we go different routes (mostly single-track trails up and fire roads down).

To judge the difficulty of this hike; you should expect to go up a steep (25% grade) hill for 10 to 15 minutes at your own maximum hiking speed* before you get a short break and then do it again. We will typically ascend 900' to 1100' (HogBack to Mt. Hollywood, Mt. Lee, Taco, etc.).

*to the point that you are panting hard.

Another way to describe the difficulty; on this hike we go up STEEP and VERY STEEP hills, but we go at the speed of the slowest hiker as long as that slowest hiker is pushing very hard (panting, sweating). i.e., there is tolerance for a slower hiker that is pushing hard. If a slower hiker is taking it easy, then they will be asked to go back to the parking lot and join a different hike.

Bring WATER, hiking shoes, hiking poles and a long sleeve shirt if you get chilly. You can bring flash lights but please only the red or green; white light diminishes night vision. Arrive 10 to 15 earlier, we leave exactly on time. If you cannot make it, please update your RSVP.
