Autumn is right around the corner, September 22 to be exact, and we are looking to have some great hikes to start the fall season. So you know we’re excited to bring you the LATH Hikes List for September and October. As you will notice, there is a variety of levels during both months. Including 5 new trails in October. For the first time in a few years, we’re giving the Hollywood Sign hike a break from the rotation. But don’t worry, it’ll be back in the next set of hikes. We’ll start September with a long weekend, so we’re taking Sunday (and Monday) off. Additionally, we’ll be holding our annual Halloween Costume Contest Hike on the last Weds in October. We look forward to all the costumes! Don’t forget to RSVP for these hikes when they are posted to our Facebook events section. It does help us communicate with attending hikers should there be any last minute changes, cancellations, recommendations, requirements, and words from our hike leads. We look forward to having you join us on a hike and enjoying nature with us.

2. Make sure that the Hike Level accommodates your hiking experience.

MY FRIEND SAID I CAN DO THIS HIKE, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT, RIGHT?
Contrary to popular belief, you know your body and hiking experience better than your friends. Whether you are a first-timer or an experienced hiker, please read our hike details page as the hike may not suite your experience level. We have a better experience if every hike has hikers of the intended level.
