About This Event
http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/2/3/0/b/event_11768971.jpegIts been over two years since we did this exact hike! The hike begins at Temescal Gateway Park. We will climb a circuitous route up the eastern ridge of Temescal Canyon and then promenade down into Rivas Canyon. Continuing through riparian and oak woodland vegetation toward Will Rogers and past the Polo Grounds, we will head up to Inspiration Point and return to Temescal Canyon.
We'll do a little sightseeing along the way at the Will Rogers home/ranch and Temescal Canyon/Pacific Palisades photo history kiosk
