Perfect Weather Hike in Griffith Park! ☀️🙋🏻♀️ 🙋 🙋🏽♂️
Sat, Jul 18, 4:00 PMCome join the Perfect Weather Hike in Griffith Park every Saturday (location or route varies). Join us on this friendly social hike, with optional plank challenge at the helipad. Followed by optional lunch at the Village Bakery and cafe. Trail Is a roughly a 4.5 mile 10,000 step loop on mostly fire roads. Distance varies depending on trail variations. We’ll have views across the city to the Pacific Ocean, Griffith Observatory, downtown LA... Moderate pace with Tiffany on the main fire roads or faster pace on advanced inclines with Marvin and Gary. Route varies: Cadman trail to 5-Points, Beacon Hill, Helipad, Glendale Peak, often Cedar Grove and back to the cars. Steady incline approx 700ft elevation gain in the first hour - challenging for beginners but worth it! We’ll gather at each split in the trail to make sure all are accounted for. Dog friendly 🐕. Just remember there are coyotes in the park. Rattlesnake season! 🐍 They like to sun on the trails. Do not approach and steer clear if any are on the path. Meet after at Village Bakery and Cafe 3119 Los Feliz Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90039 Like all meetups, hike at your own risk. You are responsible for your own well-being. Please bring water, wear sunscreen and proper shoes. Facebook group https://m.facebook.com/groups/1608982546701615/?ref=share&mibextid=S66gvF This is a residential neighborhood. There is NO restroom on this hike. The nearest is at the Griffith park Southern Railway by the Griffith Park Cafe on Crystal Springs Drive. If you arrive early, It’s a 15 minute roundtrip walk to the restroom. Hike will be cancelled in the event of rain and soggy trails or severe heat advisories.

Beaudry Loop Hike (Glendale) Level: Moderate+
Sat, Jul 18, 3:30 PMCome join us for one of our favorite local mountain hikes: the Beaudry Loop, starting in Glendale! This beautiful trail is one of the highest rated hikes on AllTrails. We will take the steeper South route with panoramic views of the city up to the double peaks: Mount Thom and Tongva. At Tongva, next to the radio towers, there is a nice lookout point where we will stop to re-group, to enjoy the views, and to have a snack break for about 10 minutes. After that we will take the shadier, tree-lined North route down. The path is a wide fire road making socializing easy. **LEVEL**: Intermediate Plus for speed. The incline going clockwise is somewhat steep, but not extreme. We are a friendly group that loves to socialize and encourages newcomers, but please note that moderate+ level of cardio fitness and walking speed are required. **LENGTH**: 5.9 miles, 1500 ft elevation gain. +/-2 1/4h moving time. **SPEED**: c. 21-22 min/mile going up. This is faster than most moderate hikes, but below advanced ones. We will make several one minute stops going up. The plan is to stay together as a group, but people tend to break off a bit and there is no sweep. If you do end up taking longer than the main group where I will be, no problem, just meet us at the lookout point and we'll all come down together. The route doesn't have many turns, see map in the pictures. **BRING**: Hiking shoes and water. Snack, if you wish. Poles are not needed unless you have a preference to have them on moderate hikes. **DOGS**: I allow well-behaved, strong dogs, but the area has a lot of coyotes, so you take all responsibility for them! Please note that we do not wait for dogs. **MEETING POINT:** We meet for introductions at 8.30am and we take off at 8.35am sharp. (If you are late and attempt to catch us we are taking the South route (stay left) at the split c. 1/4 mile from the start, map is posted) **ALERT**: Don't fully trust the Meetup GPS link. On rare occasions, depending on your phone and app, it can lead people slightly off! **RESTROOMS**: none. **PARKING**: Street parking in a residential neighborhood. Parking is usually pretty easy. There is additional parking on J Lee Circle, if needed. **LIABILITY**: The organizer is an untrained and unpaid volunteer. By joining this event each member accepts full responsibility for knowing their limits, for injuries and health issues, for material losses, assessing all risks and for getting lost. Each member shall make their guests aware of these policies, also, and release the host from all liability.
