Beaudry Loop at Sunset
An evening hike in the Verdugo Mountains, beginning at the Beaudry Trailhead in Glendale to Tongva Peak to catch the sunset. (10k loop)
Muir Peak
An out-n-back to one of the lower peaks of the Mount Wilson group in the San Gabriel front ranges.
Not to be confused with “Mount Muir” (14,012′) in the sierras, this one tops out at a mere 4688 ft / 1429 m
There’s a number of routes that will get to this peak, for this one we will be hiking in from Eaton Saddle past Mt Lowe and Inspiration Point.
Awesome westerly views of the Los Angeles basin, and all the way to the coast – if the weather is clear.
Hike-+-Yoga
Meet for a quick coffee to get caffeinated and perhaps a breakfast muffin, before we set out on a 40 minute hike up onto the trails.
Then, upon return to the cafe, we can grab our mats from the car, and meet at the grassy patch across from the ranger station for a post-hike stretch-out yoga session lead by our favourite T1 Guru Robin Cressman.
