Thank you to all the LA Trail Hikers that made it out to our Dodger Night event! We hope you all had a great time and enjoyed a winning Dodger game! #LetsGoDodgers #GoLATH

Join us on Wednesday, September 19, 2018 as the LA Trail Hikers return to Dodger Stadium to enjoy an evening game (game starts at 7:10pm) as the Dodgers take on the Colorado Rockies.

Tickets

This year we’re looking to do a bulk purchase of group tickets so we can all sit in the same area (Preferred Reserve MVP area).

Tickets were $29 per person.

Deadline for ticket money was:  Thursday, August 30, 2018

This special event ticket package includes your ticket to the game and an exclusive Dodgers’ Dia de Los Dodgers Night bobblehead.

• Tickets have now been purchased. No further transactions being handled.
  

No Ticket Refunds after  Thursday, August 30, 2018

Miss the ticket deadline?

Didn’t get a LATH ticket before the deadline, but still want to join us at the game? 

Although the special Dia De Los Dodgers (bobblehead) tickets are now sold out, you can still buy individual game tickets next to or really close to where we are sitting. We’ll be taking up about half of 5 whole rows!
We are sitting Left Field side (closer to the Dodger Bullpen):

LATH Volunteers
We’re actively looking for more great people to be part of LATH Hike Lead team. So, if you’re interested in having us consider, make sure you submit your interest form to let us know that you want to be part of our awesome group of hike leads. Or, if you’re interested in helping us out on the social front, we’ll also be looking for new members to join the LATH Digital Team. If you follow us on one of our social media accounts, send us a message letting us know you want to join our LATH Digital Team. We need some great LATH volunteers to keep us going strong!

HIKE CANCELLATION NOTE: Should any hike need to be canceled (due to heavy rain or other reasons), we’ll try to post on our website’s hike’s detail page and on our Facebook page, about 1 .5 hours prior to the meeting point, so you are aware. Otherwise, the hike is considered a go.

ADDITIONAL HIKE NOTES:
– Weekend hikes are primarily in the morning unless otherwise indicated.
– All hikes are subject to change, cancellation or other modifications. We may even add in additional hikes that may not appear on the original listing.
– We try to schedule 2 months worth of hikes so we always have a fresh new set every so often.
– All hikes listed are pre-scouted by our Hike Leads prior to taking the group.
– We require that you bring water to any of our hikes.

HOW DO I PARTICIPATE WITH THE GROUP ON THESE HIKES?
1. Read the details page for the hike you’re interested in.
2. Make sure that the Hike Level accommodates your hiking experience (1 easiest, 10 most strenuous).
3. If, and only if it suits you, then show up the day of the hike with all necessary gear, nutrition, and water (we mention everything you need on each details page per hike).
4. (Optional): RSVP via Facebook so we know you’re going. It also let’s us know what about how many hikers will be attending.

MY FRIEND SAID I CAN DO THIS HIKE, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT, RIGHT?
We take your safety quite seriously, and would not like for you to attend a hike you’re not ready for.  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 suit your experience level. We have a better experience if every hike has hikers of the intended level.
