Details:
Gary and Marvin are your hosts. Take your time on this go-at-your-own-pace social hike!
The trail is roughly a 2-hour, 4-mile loop on mostly fire roads, starting at Cadman Trail heading to 5-points, Beacon Hill, the helicopter pad, and either past the Cedar grove and down through the residential neighborhood or return past the Water stop back to 5-points and down. Steady incline approx 700ft elevation gain in the first hour - challenging for beginners but worth it! Go at your own pace. We’ll gather at each split in the trail to make sure all are accounted for. Optional plank challenge at the helipad. Largely downhill from there.
We’ll have views of the Pacific Ocean, Griffith Observatory, and downtown Los Angeles.
Dog friendly. Just remember there are coyotes in the park.
Wear appropriate footwear.
Bring: drinking water in a reusable bottle, snacks, sun protection, appropriate footwear. Carry Emergency Contact Information.
We recommend you also consult our suggested 10 essential items to bring - click here.
Like all meetups, hike at your own risk. You are responsible for your own well-being.
