Dying for you: an Echo Park Stairwalk
Details
Join me for some stair walking in Echo Park, including the twin towers of Baxter St. And Avalon St, and a jaunt through the peaceful Fellowship Parkway, a street accessible only by stairs. This is my first time leading a walk on Meetup (!) but I have walked these stairs many times, so I promise not to get (too) lost.
LEVEL: Intermediate. I won't be walking super fast, but there are a lot of stairs on this hike. Probably best if you've done other stairwalks in the past.
LENGTH: 4.6 miles, 10 big up stairways and 8 down, plus various hills.
SPEED: A good pace, but not aggressive. We'll take short pauses at the top of some of the bigger stairs.
BRING: Wear comfortable clothing and comfy shoes. Other than a short bit in Elysian Park, we'll be mainly on roads and stairs, so hiking shoes aren't necessary. Bring plenty of water, wear sunscreen, etc.
LOCATION/PARKING: We'll meet at the corner of Echo Park Ave and Avalon Street. The Dodgers are out of town, so hopefully street parking won't be too bad.
RESTROOMS: Sadly none unless we find a port-a-john.
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.
