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.

In addition, our annual LATH Las Vegas Road Trip Hike will take us out to Valley of Fire State Park! Make sure to check this page every so often as we do update them if any changes are made. So if you’re ready, we’re ready. Let’s get 2013 off to a great start with the LA Trail Hikers!














Today marks 3 exciting years since the LA Trail Hikers organization first got its name and became open to all on August 17, 2009. It doesn’t come without any surprise that, after our first two years being a hiking group, we continue to grow and become a real staple for the hiking community within the Greater Los Angeles area. This group is definitely a gem less known.
From beginners and first-time hikers to experienced and adventurous backpackers, we encompass a variety of people who participate and make up the core participants of this organization. Having such a mix of experience levels allows our group to learn from each other about hiking basics to more seasoned topics. And where would we be without leadership? Even our hike leads find that it is important to provide essential information along the hikes. They, of all hikers, do put their time and effort into the group to help it become what it is today. It is important to recognize their efforts and thank them for what they do for our little-group-that-could.
