IT’S SUMMERTIME LA TRAIL HIKERS!

201507hikesIt’s been a great 5th year for the LA Trail Hikers! And, on August 17, 2015, we’ll commence our 6th year as a hiking group in Los Angeles! It’s been quite a half-year so far and we’re only getting started! The LATH Hike Leads have got some great hikes scheduled and we’re ready to continue some great hikes in and around L.A. And, as you know, Southern California summers can be quite blistering.  So, let’s make sure you are all taking plenty of water on your hikes to keep adequately hydrated. It’s good to have all your summer gear (such as a hat, sunscreen, light colored clothing, and electrolyte supplements) to make your hikes enjoyable. We have a few evening hikes, including our Red, Hike, and Blue hike on July 4th to go see the surrounding area fireworks from Griffith Park. And, we’ll be celebrating with our annual (All Day) LATH Beach Party on Aug 15. We hope to see you there for a great time with our hikers!

This page will be constantly updated, so remember that you can always come back to this page by bookmarking http://latrailhikers.com/upcoming as a shortcut. But, enough of that, let’s start getting those calendars full of hikes with the LA Trail Hikers!

ADDITIONAL HIKE NOTES:
– Weekend hikes are primarily in the morning unless otherwise indicated.

2. Make sure that the Hike Level accommodates your hiking experience (1 easiest, 10 most strenuous).

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.

We’ve got many themed hikes this time around including our annual hikes for Mother’s Day (May 10), National Trails Day (June 6), National Get Outdoors Day (June 13), and Father’s Day (June 21)!  We’ll be hiking through Spring and will end our set as we move into the First Day of Summer on June 21. So expect the days ahead to a bit warm. You’ll feel plenty of sunshine, so make sure you keep hydrated anytime you’re out in the sun.

You’ll want to keep a note of LATH Meet & Greet on March 24th. If it’s your first time joining the group, you can go and meet some of our hikers, as your LATH/Hiking questions, and participate in some fun activities. If not, you’ll will be able to provide your hiking experience to others and also participate with our group in some good talk activities. On Saturday, April 25th, we’ll also be having our annual LATH Las Vegas Road Trip Hike! And, later in the fall we’ll be going to Zion National Park in Utah for our Fall 2015 LATH Road Trip Hike.  Information for these additional activities will be posted at a later time (for those in this set, closer to their event date).

Our LATH Hike Leads have compiled a great list of hikes for you to start off 2015. Aside from the hikes list, in mid December we announced that we’d be going to Zion National Park in Utah for our Fall 2015 LATH Road Trip Hike.  So this year will have so much to look forward to. Enough talk now, let’s get on those trails and have amazing time with all of you as we start another season of hiking as the LA Trail Hikers!
