Theatricum Botanicum has a resident improv comedy troupe called "Off The Grid". For this event we're going to see their show. The only hiking will likely be the trip from where you parked your car to the venue itself. We just saw the August show and it was very funny. It's actually held in a...
An HWD original hike. On this 6 mile hike I will take you through shady Franklin Canyon on a trek to the center of Los Angeles. It will make a great photo opp. Franklin Canyon Park is one of the very few places in LA with a greenbelt filled with pines, sycamore, eucalyptus and cedars,...

Thus, shortly after the hike begins we will leave the fire road and take a small, slightly overgrown use trail that passes a clay...
