Please note we do walk up some hills and steps (as Los Angeles and Silver Lake have a few hills). Nothing too steep or crazy but want to give the heads up!

This hike is unlike any other experience you'll find in LA. Secret stairs, abandoned trolley lines, and hidden pathways form the basis of the unique route used for this neighborhood walk. We start by the LA River for an in depth look into the river's past. The LA River isn't just a great place to film a car chase for a movie like Grease or Terminator 2, it also has its own amazing (and terrifying) history. Next, you'll walk through a section of Elysian Valley and hear how this neighborhood is rapidly becoming a hotspot for development. What does this mean for the future of Frogtown and its residents? We'll discuss! A small section of the forgotten trolley car lines has been turned into a trail in Silver Lake. We will use that to connect to Echo Park, where reclusive occult organizations and self-sufficent religious compounds were tucked into the hills, connected by secret stairways! These hidden stairs and trails cross right through a neighborhood minutes away from Dodger Stadium. From the hills we can often see the Hollywood Sign and Griffth Observatory. After some hills and stairs, the tour returns to Frogtown and the LA River. Here, we will see how the river is finding an identity in modern LA. Biking, cafes, pocket parks, and more all show that the river is alive with activity. This is the final stretch and now you've seen LA in a truly one of a kind way!
