Come join us for a fast-paced 6.0 mile hike (3 miles up and 3 miles down, elevation gain of about 1360 feet) to Brown Mountain Saddle. The path is mostly fire roads with some single track trails. Burn off those Thanksgiving calories and enjoy the scenery.

**LEVEL**: Advanced for speed (approximately 18 mins per mile), otherwise moderate plus. We are a friendly group that loves to socialize and encourages newcomers, but please note that moderate+ level of cardio fitness and fast walking speed are required.

**LENGTH**: 6.0 miles. The path is mostly fire roads with some single track trails. Approximately 2:00 hours.

**SPEED**: Advanced speed of approximately 18 mins per mile. We will try to take a quick pause to re-group at the top of stairs and steep hills but our regulars like to keep up a good solid fast pace of about 18 minutes per mile. There will be no sweep, so bring your phone for navigation just in case you fall behind or want to leave early.

**BRING**: Exercise outfit, sturdy workout shoes/hiking boots, and sufficient water.

**MEETING POINT**: We will meet for introductions at 8:30 am at the top of El Prieto Road in Altadena (near 4550 El Prieto Road), and take off sharply at 8.35 am.

**RESTROOMS**: None along the way.

**PARKING**: Free street parking on El Prieto Road. Parking at your own risk.

**NO CRASHING!** All participants MUST sign up through the Meetup app. The waitlist, if necessary, generally clears in order. Members with a good attendance record and a posted picture (LA Hiking Group rule) may get some priority.

**PROFILE NAME AND PIC**: Be sure to update your profile to indicate at least your first name and include a picture showing your face, per group policy. This is for your safety and to discourage non-signed-up crashers.

**LIABILITY**: The organizer is an untrained and unpaid volunteer. By joining this event each member accepts full and total responsibility for knowing their limits, for all injuries and health issues, assessing all risks, for any material losses, for falling behind, and for getting lost. Each member agrees to make their guests aware of this, and fully releases the host from any and all liability.
