Ballona Lagoon and Venice Canals--and garlic-fest Dinner at Pasta Factory
Hosted by Los Angeles Hiking Group
Details
CHANGE OF HIKE LOCATION IN THE BALLONA WETLANDS
Meet at Ballona Lagoon instead
LOTS OF WATER AND BIRDS
STILL: 4 MILES AND 2 HOURS HIKE/WALK, part on a dirt path, part on sidewalk in the Venice Canals
DIRECTIONS: In West L.A/Marina Del Rey area--take Washington Blvd all the way to the beach. Two blocks before the Venice Pier, turn left on Via Dolce and go 1/2 mile. At the fork, go straight. (The left fork is Marquesas and that leads to Via Marina--DON'T go that way!) The right fork stays called Via Dolce and we will be parked next to the big lagoon, between Marquesas Way and Roma Court.
