Night-hiking in LA is amazing! Trails are practically empty, breeze is cool, & the beautiful city below you offers unlimited full-definition entertainment!

We take short rest stops as needed. At the peak/midpoint, we take a nice long social break to have a potluck (beer/soda/snacks/treats) and look at beautiful scenery.

Please RSVP & arrive by 6:55 pm for a 7 pm start. Change your RSVP ASAP if you can’t make it to give others a chance to hike. Repeat “No Shows” will get last priority on future hikes.
