From Sunrise to Sunset Hikers
4.9

Part of Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena will be closed to traffic on Sunday, November 15, 2026 from 9AM to 3PM, so people can ride bikes on the streets. With no cars, it's the perfect time to walk Colorado Boulevard (no more than 5 miles roundtrip) and do some extra sightseeing. (lunch break TBD) https://ciclavia.org/events/pasadena-2026-11/ To get there, we can take the Metrolink train 661 from OC to LA Union Station: 1661 leaves Irvine 9:21AM: https://metrolinktrains.com/schedules/?type=station&originId=140&destinationId=107&weekend=4 Or get on the 1661 at Tustin at 9:28AM, or Santa Ana at 9:35AM, or in Anaheim at 9:45AM, or at Fullerton at 9:53AM, or at Buena Park at 9:58AM. There are lots more places to catch this train. The train only costs $12 on the weekend: https://metrolinktrains.com/ticketsOverview/discounts/metrolink-$12-weekends/ Visit a Metrolink station with weekend service. Use the ticket machines and select "SoCal Day Pass" on the home screen\*. You also may buy tickets with our mobile app on the day of travel. Don't worry about meeting up on the train, although I'm sure you'll recognize people in any car you get into. We'll arrive at Union Station at 10:34, then we'll all meet up at Starbucks (next to Wetzel's Pretzels) - and this is a good bathroom break spot). Here's a map of Union Station: https://www.unionstationla.com/visit/ After a restroom break and giving time for people to gather together, we'll transfer to the Blue (or A) line, for a 24 minute ride to Memorial Park in Pasadena. https://cdn.beta.metro.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/11104336/801_TT_06-07-26-1.pdf

Saturday, Jan 2, 2025 is very good chance of rain. Moving this event to next year. Sometimes plans need to change. Sure. You can show up and the old date listed. It's not going to be a led or organized event. This is a yearly annual event we lead. The concept is really simple. . . Around the holidays some outdoor ice rinks open around town. We pick a Low Class or No Class watering hole near by to one of the rinks and meet there for Happy Hour. Then . . . we head out to go Ice Skate. What's The Worst That Can Happen? The reality is . . . not too much . . . Many folks decide the indoor and warm social beats out cold and slippery ice. Even so . . . we tried. So each year we try it again . . . with the hope of idiots on ice. Let's make this year different and really get out there and have proper folly occur. The Bar: The Gallery Bar located at Biltmore Hotel 506 Grand Avenue The Rink: Pershing Square 532 South Olive Street **WHERE?** This event is a Two Part event. ***The Bar,*** *and* ***The Ice.*** 7 to 11 PM @ The Bar. If you are going to stay at the bar. 7 to 9 PM @ The Bar if doing Ice Skating. 9 to 11 PM @ The Ice Rink if doing Ice Skating **The Concept:** * Get there by 7 and socialize. * At 9 PM head across the street to The Ice Rink. To attend this event #1 **RSVP on this event with the red button at the bottom** *AND THEN* #2 **[Fill out the event form](https://forms.gle/FCFdNmri2oQb39uv9)** [https://forms.gle/FCFdNmri2oQb39uv9](https://forms.gle/FCFdNmri2oQb39uv9) (spoiler alert: ***if you do not fill out the form you will not get accurate or updated event info)(Meetup messages is not reliable or efficient at getting out info.

Runyon Canyon Conditioning Workout hike

Runyon Canyon Conditioning Workout hike

Fri, Nov 6, 5:00 PM
From Los Angeles Hiking Group
4.8

This is an Intermediate/advanced hike for physical conditioning to prep for harder mountain hikes. There is some steep downhill requiring hiking shoe tread. The uphill is gradual but constant. Pace is Intermediate/advanced. You can do one loop and exit or multiple. I usually do 3. Each takes about 50 minutes. I normally arrive at 8:55am. We will leave at 9 am sharp. MEETING PLACE : I will be right inside the green iron gate near the water fountain just off Mulholland Parking : parking lot near entrance gate. More parking on Mulholland but pay attention to signs. RAIN CANCELS This is a loop I do weekly. Each loop is approximately 2 miles/50 minutes. You can do as few or as many as you want. We'll go down the fire road to East ridge then come up West ridge fire road. I usually do 3 laps. You can exit at the Mulholland gate after any lap. Our Policy: Profile photo: Anyone interested in joining this event must have a profile photo showing his/her face. This is a requirement of L.A. Hiking. Without it, you will not be allowed to sign up for an event. Waiting list priority: People who hike with with L.A. Hiking regularly will be given priority when they are on the waiting list. Advanced hikes: Anyone interested in participating in advanced hikes (>3,000' elevation gain or distance > 10 miles or Difficulty Level > = 7) will be subject to prescreening before his/her name will be added to the list. Therefore, interested hiker must share with the event host his/her recent hiking background to establish proficiency before his/her name will be added to the list. Guests are not allowed on advanced hikes. Early departure: If a hiker needs to be separated from the group for any reason, he/she must inform the event host.

We will schedule this event again in the future. Do it when your mind and body are ready. Hiking is a recreation, not a suicide mission.
