My Neighborhood



The neighborhood where I live in Los Angeles sits at the foot of Griffith Park, one of the largest parks in a city. There are miles of hiking trails there, including one close to the Hollywood sign. But it's a well kept secret that one can go on an urban hike right down my street through the streets of the neighborhood. The hill at the end of my streets has a series of around a dozen public stairs going between houses and up the hill. Following a trail made by the Sierra Club takes 1 to 2 hours. It's tough work but offers the reward of beautiful views of the city. I will post pictures from my walk one day soon. For now, enjoy this picture of a mural and stairs in the neighborhood where I like to end my jogs.
