The Sierra Club is no longer officially doing this hike but we virtually always meet at around 6:45 and leave at 7:00 p.m.
The old write-up described it as:
Spectacular view of Santa Monica Bay and LA Basin. 2 hr, 5 mi, round-trip, 1100′ total gain, on fire road. Moderately strenuous conditioning hike for fit hikers.
Level: Moderate
Cost: Free
Bring: Water, Flashlight, Good Shoes
I appreciate and encourage any efforts to verify connections online and be safe. You can Google Sierra club Ed Lubin and find a variety of links. He is always happy to talk to people and he is our unofficial leader. He always knows who’s on the trail and that they’ve gotten down okay.
The start is relatively close to PCH and Sunset. And Here is a map link.

I always look forward to the full Moons near Fri. But the hike is always a little different. Moon, Marine layer, etc. Sometimes we start in the Marine layer and climb out of it, sometimes we start in the dark under just a sliver of moon. We highly recommend flashlights to have for emergencies but generally discourage their use. There is so much ambient light from the city and Moon and if you have a flashlight on you will just follow that spot of light down the trail instead of appreciating your surroundings. A woman who has been blind since birth is fairly regular and she has been doing it for a dozen plus years and she can do it without a flashlight 😃
It’s out and back so it’s fairly easy to give it a try and if it’s too much initially it’s an easy back out.
I’m a fan of getting outside for our health and I’m a fan of this hike.
