Meet at 12 but leave at 12:15 PM.

Yes, there is a trail and place called the rainforest (part of it) hidden in the hills of Studio city. A place of high canopy trees, a running stream, and sounds of tranquility from the birds. One of several trails in the park, this trail was featured in the LA Times Outdoors section and boasts a spectacular view of the valley at the top. Along the way, you will encounter an abandoned car and cross several streams. Its a semi-moderate hike of 6 miles and 800 ft gain with a good amount of tree shade. Rain postpones. Wilacre Park is located on the NW corner of Laurel Canyon and Fryman in Studio city. 3431 Fryman Rd Studio City, CA 91604. We will meet at the fire-road gate at 12 PM. Bring water, sunscreen, and a snack.

Directions (that map above is confusing). Use the link here for directions. We'll meet at the entrance, by the parking lot:

Parking lot can get full quickly. You have to pay to park there. I park in the neigborhood several blocks down. Give yourself plenty of time! Also, watch where you park! It can be restricted!
