The Great Los Angeles Walk

Every year on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, the Great Los Angeles Walk debunks all of those cliches about walking in L.A. Hundreds of walkers start the free urban hike on one side of the city and, about half a day later, end up at the other. You can hop on or off the walk whenever you’d like, and though no reservations are required, RSVPs are appreciated. This year’s route mixes things up with a loop and a bit of a bonus walk: Meet by the bear statue at Griffith Park (5413 Los Feliz Blvd) and then you’ll tackle Los Feliz, Franklin, Fairfax, Pico and Western, back up to Griffith—from there you can hike up to the Observatory if you still have any energy left.
