Take the train to LA: Urban Hike in Pasadena

Part of Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena will be closed to traffic on Sunday, November 15, 2026 from 9AM to 3PM, so people can ride bikes on the streets. With no cars, it's the perfect time to walk Colorado Boulevard (no more than 5 miles roundtrip) and do some extra sightseeing. (lunch break TBD) https://ciclavia.org/events/pasadena-2026-11/ To get there, we can take the Metrolink train 661 from OC to LA Union Station: 1661 leaves Irvine 9:21AM: https://metrolinktrains.com/schedules/?type=station&originId=140&destinationId=107&weekend=4 Or get on the 1661 at Tustin at 9:28AM, or Santa Ana at 9:35AM, or in Anaheim at 9:45AM, or at Fullerton at 9:53AM, or at Buena Park at 9:58AM. There are lots more places to catch this train. The train only costs $12 on the weekend: https://metrolinktrains.com/ticketsOverview/discounts/metrolink-$12-weekends/ Visit a Metrolink station with weekend service. Use the ticket machines and select "SoCal Day Pass" on the home screen\*. You also may buy tickets with our mobile app on the day of travel. Don't worry about meeting up on the train, although I'm sure you'll recognize people in any car you get into. We'll arrive at Union Station at 10:34, then we'll all meet up at Starbucks (next to Wetzel's Pretzels) - and this is a good bathroom break spot). Here's a map of Union Station: https://www.unionstationla.com/visit/ After a restroom break and giving time for people to gather together, we'll transfer to the Blue (or A) line, for a 24 minute ride to Memorial Park in Pasadena. https://cdn.beta.metro.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/11104336/801_TT_06-07-26-1.pdf We'll break for an early lunch at Colorado Blvd. There are tons of restaurants in the area. My thought is we find a good meeting point, then everyone can find what they want to eat, and we'll agree on a meeting time after lunch. Check out the list below (or find something else close) and try to decide where you'll be going before the event. https://locations.doghaus.com/locations/ca/pasadena/93-east-green-street; https://www.truefoodkitchen.com/locations/pasadena/; https://www.satoramenhouse.com/; https://noodlestusa.com/menu/; https://kingtaco.com/menu/; https://locations.thecheesecakefactory.com/ca/pasadena-18.html; https://www.mamalutogo.com/; https://paninikabobgrill.com/locations/pasadena/; https://barneysbeanery.com/ After we meet back up, we'll walk down and return back on Colorado Blvd.

Explore Griffith Park

Please read this entire write up. This is a moderately strenuous hike. The hikes are about 2 hours long and about 4 miles, and those miles include steep ascents and descents, most often on single track trails. Some trails can be uneven and slippery. We move at a fairly rapid pace. but pause occasionally to enjoy the scenery, smell the flowers, and take pictures of the amazing views. No two hikes are the same, and we go all over the park. Please don't be late, as we aim to leave on time, 3:30 p.m. Good idea to arrive around 4:15 so that we can start at 3:30 p.m. Don't forget to bring water and wear good hiking shoes with lug soles.

Please check the start time when you sign up, but an e-mail will be sent out whenever the time is changed. .
