Canyoneering Los Angeles

Backpacking: Kings Canyon

**Multiple Day backpacking trip. Only experienced people should join. This is a serious trip and not anything like a day hike.** **If interested please contact me for further details, including how to obtain a wilderness permit.**

Six Canyons and some BBQ

EARLY Fryman Canyon, Studio City - Rainforest & the Nancy Hoover Pohl Overlook

It's time to get outdoors and enjoy a 2 hour hike in Studio City! Please keep your RSVP up to date. But if you can't make it, don't worry, I'm not taking attendance. But if you are on the list and are running just a little late (no more 5 minutes, we'll wait for you, if I get the message.) My number is (818) 644-5859. 3453 Fryman Road (corner of Laurel Canyon and Fryman) MEET AT THE KIOSK IN FRONT. It is right at the beginning of the trailhead. There is a free parking along Laurel Canyon. The County is charging $7.00 to $14.00 to park in the lot. You may want to have the correct amount of cash to use the "Iron Ranger". There is the ubiquitous electronic ticket machine that we've all become used to by now. Or, come early and park on Laurel Canyon (watch for the fire hydrants) or park on Sunshine Terrace. People are coming and going so drive carefully and give yourself plenty of time to find a place. Post a message if you are running late. The parking lot has been filling up in the morning. Try arriving 15 minutes early. The first part of the hike is an uphill climb and considered "intermediate". The rest is a gentle uphill slope. There are wide paths and plenty of room for leashed dogs. The TreePeople have opened their bathrooms and there are drinking fountains for humans and dogs. Bring water, sun protection and hiking shoes, or running shoes. The dirt road and trail can be dusty and slippery. Keep that in mind. "Yes" you can trip and or slip. More info about the park: https://mrca.ca.gov/parks/park-listing/wilacre-park/ We visit TreePeople Park. It is a fascinating spot and while we are there we just do a little exploring. There is a short walk in a secluded section of TreePeople Park which is just beautiful and relaxing. Depending on the mood of the hikers we may extend the hike to take in the Rain Forest or continue on to the Nancy Hoover Pohl Overlook on Mulholland. This could extend the hike to 6 or 9 miles. New in town? New to the Santa Monica Mountains? New to hiking? This is a good place to begin to immerse yourself into Los Angeles.

Camping Road Trip @ Grand Teton & Yellowstone

Happy Father's Day to all the good dads, step-dads, paternal guardians & foster parents, etc. I'm currently in Denver this weekend, and yesterday, we stopped by Rocky Mountain National Park for a quick drive / visit, and it was so nostalgic to be out in nature again (after a 3 year absence). Another group member messaged me yesterday regarding 4th of July weekend, so I'm sorry I've procrastinated so long in posting something. - My apologies this is short notice... I'm planning on going to Glacier National Park in Montana between July 3 - 10. If I can get everything ready in time, I might go to a Canadian National Park called Waterton Lakes National Park around July 1 - 2. I'm perfectly fine with going solo...I need the peace and quiet after working with kids and volunteering with kids throughout the country. Plus, it's really short / late notice, so I don't anticipate anyone else joining for Glacier. [https://www.meetup.com/la_camping/photos/33118523](https://www.meetup.com/la_camping/photos/33118523) [https://www.meetup.com/la_camping/photos/33414566](https://www.meetup.com/la_camping/photos/33414566/) I'll have limited phone / internet / email access in early July, but I'll try to check occasionally, every few days or so. - So yeah, gas prices are high and inflation is daunting for many -- so my expectations are low...but if anyone has the time and desire, feel free to lmk if you want to join for Grand Teton and/or Yellowstone. Dates are flexible and open to your schedule...meaning, you're willing to arrive & leave whenever fits your schedule. I have a campsite reserved inside Grand Teton NP between July 13 - 16 and Yellowstone NP between July 17 - 22 [https://www.meetup.com/la_camping/photos/32044981](https://www.meetup.com/la_camping/photos/32044981) [https://www.meetup.com/la_camping/photos/32048661](https://www.meetup.com/la_camping/photos/32048661) [https://www.meetup.com/la_camping/photos/32382009](https://www.meetup.com/la_camping/photos/32382009) I also have a campsite for July 23 - 25, but I might need to fly to New York to volunteer for another children's camp at the end of July, so I'm tentatively thinking of staying until July 22, 23, or 24. Oh, and if anyone is interested and has time, I highly recommend checking out a Native American Pow Wow in Browning, Montana on either July 11 or 12. [https://www.meetup.com/la_camping/photos/32630790](https://www.meetup.com/la_camping/photos/32630790) Okay, that's it for now. I'll try to add more when I return from Denver. * Drive time is around 14 - 15 hours from OC - [https://goo.gl/maps/uBiaNxgRX4xkqhWf7](https://goo.gl/maps/uBiaNxgRX4xkqhWf7) LA - [https://goo.gl/maps/JdNPrrTGzD1DBEXE7](https://goo.gl/maps/JdNPrrTGzD1DBEXE7) Note: If checking the route now (before summer), the estimated time might be longer due to road closures due to winter...so change the departure date to the summer, and the estimate drive time should be shorter. *** *** *** ***
