Day at the Happiest Place on Earth

The LA Trail Hikers will be going to Disneyland! We’ll be hiking Matterhorn Mountain….just kidding. We’ll be taking a break from hiking and will enjoy what the Happiest Place on Earth has to offer.

We hope you join us on this fun-filled event.

The LA Trail Hikers will be having an Open House on March 17, 2011. We’ll be having lead hikers answering questions about the type of hikes we do, recommended equipment, and anything else you wanted to know about hiking with us. This is also a great opportunity to tell us about any future hikes you might want the group to consider doing. Any other ideas, comments, or suggestions will be welcome. This is also a great opportunity for new and prospective members to meet with current hikers to get information and an idea of what we do. We’ll tell you how you can Rediscover Los Angeles!

We’ll get together at Casa De Luna Coffee House, in Bellflower,  at 7:30pm . By the way, they have great coffee & Tea. All members/fans of LA Trail Hikers, first-time hikers, and those simply interested in hiking are welcome to join in on this event. We hope to see you there!

Merry Christmas LA Trail Hikers!

Thanks everyone for making this year a spectacular one for me and all your fellow hikers. This group has definitely been a big part of my life since its inception and I’m a very grateful for all the friendly faces I’ve seen on the hikes. I would like to give special recognition all the hike leads for the commitment and leadership they contributed to the group. If it wasn’t for them, we wouldn’t have been able to go on all of this year’s great adventures. And, I hope each and everyone of you who joined us has a warm memory to share about the group. To each and every one of you, I say thanks for making our little hiking group one of the best ones out in Los Angeles! Merry Christmas to you and your families.

Sincerely,
Jason Bazalar
LA Trail Hikers Founder/Hike Lead
