I believe Wilacre Park and Fryman Canyon will be open again after this recent rain so we'll be back at it again. Let's keep our fingers crossed, hoping that we get more rain.
It's time to get outdoors and enjoy a 2 hour hike in Studio City!
It doesn't appear that social distancing and masks are required any longer. So, go with whatever makes you most comfortable. I've limited the hike to 100 people and hope it is not in violation of any Covid-19 restrictions. Just kidding. 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.)
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 lot and parking along Laurel Canyon. 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 first part of the hike is an uphill climb and considered "intermediate". The rest is a gentle downhill 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 slipper. Keep that in mind. "Yes" you can trip and or slip.

At this point, don't worry if you sign up and can't make it. We'll leave trailhead, kiosk at 7:00. Our long range goal is to see as many members getting together on a Saturday morning for a little exercise and of, course camaraderie.
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.
New in town? New to the Santa Monica Mountains? This is a good place to begin to immerse yourself into Los Angeles.
