Here’s a List of FREE Guided Group Hikes & Walks Around Los Angeles for this November (2015)

Hiking is one of those things that you probably think you should be doing more of, but sometimes just planning the hike becomes it’s own little project (and no one likes adding more projects to their list).

Planning your route and knowing where you’re going really is half the battle, especially if you’re going by yourself and/or  exploring unfamiliar territory. But our aim is to take away at least a couple of those barriers to entry.

With that in mind here’s a quick list of hikes and urban walks we know about coming up in November that are tailor-made to help you explore Los Angeles.

Free, guided, and, at least for this month, all pretty rigorous.

Follow the links provided below for more information.

Enjoy!
