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.
Join the LA Trail Hikers on May 20, 2012 from 9am to 2pm at Sorensen Park for their 2nd Annual Blood Drive! This year we’re teaming up with our friends, the LA Trail Bikers and the San Gabriel Valley Trail Walkers, in hopes of bringing as many possible donors to help save lives. The blood drive will run from 9am to 2pm. This event is not limited to group members, so bring your friends and family.
