DESCRIPTION:Join our Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/hikingwithdean/\\n\\n\\n\\nA hidden staircase\, the longest public staircase in Los Angeles\, drops 24 stories into the middle of lush Rustic Canyon.\\n\\n\\n\\nhttp://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/1/6/2/highres_239573602.jpeg\\n\\n\\n\\nThere are actually two staircases with over 500 steps -- each! We'll use the longest one to climb our way out of Rustic Canyon toward the end of our loop.\\n\\n\\n\\nhttp://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/b/d/1/2/600_338568402.jpeg\\n\\n\\n\\nRiddle: What does the inventor of the photobooth\, The Beach Boys\, a bunch of WWII-era NAZIs and Charlie Manson have in common? You will see for yourself on this hike!\\n\\n\\n\\nI will combine a 5.5 mile hike with the stairs taking in Rustic and Sullivan Canyons by way of little known trails. Along the way we'll visit Murphy Ranch\, a 1930s hideout where\, according to urban legend\, Third Reich sympathizers could sequester themselves until German rule had been established in the USA\\n\\n\\n\\nhttp://i2.wp.com/www.greeneadventures.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/6912101968_466d9bcf87.jpg?resize=500%2C375\\n\\n\\n\\nCheck out the pictures from our last hike there:\\n\\n\\n\\nhttp://www.meetup.com/localhikers/photos/25082772/\\n\\n\\n\\nhttp://www.meetup.com/localhikers/photos/all_photos/?photoAlbumId=15100752\\n\\n\\n\\nhttp://www.meetup.com/localhikers/photos/26142513/ (http://www.meetup.com/localhikers/photos/25082772/)\\n\\n\\n\\nDirections to Trailhead\\n\\n\\n\\nFrom Sunset Blvd\, 3 miles west of the 405\, turn north at the light onto Capri Drive.
