Stair Hike: Under the Banner of Blue Heaven #1 - 4.5 miles

Take a ramble beneath Heavenly Blue skies near the Hollywood Bowl. We’ll see the festive holiday lights in old Hollywood, including the site of Rudolph Valentino’s house and the stair streets where gumshoes Philip Marlowe and Harry Bosch worked their cases. You won’t need keen eyes to see all the Dodger flags in the neighborhood. Work off those holiday calories and prepare for winter adventures by carrying a heavy pack like Saint Nicholas. Meet in front of Wingstop on Highland & Franklin (1900 Highland Ave, LA 90068). Street parking is limited so arrive early. Hint: try a parking lot to the north. Bring water, adventurous spirit, strong legs and a love of stair hikes. Flashlight suggested. No restrooms. Heavy rain cancels.
