Thursday's sunset hike is an easy-to-moderate hike depending on your conditioning and whether you plan to stop at the Lookout point (benches) or continue all the way to Mt. Thom (the "scramble" part). This time we'll use a proper foot path rather than a fire road. The trail gets steep at several points (it follows a ridge leading up to Mt Thom) but there are great views along the way and plenty of chances to stop and rest.

Meet at 5:00 PM at the Miss America Green Cross statue adjacent to the parking lot next to the Brand Library & Art Center inside Brand Park (1601 West Mountain Street, Glendale CA).
The entire hike up and back should take about 2 hours. There's a little bit of 'scrambling' at a few of the steeper parts of the trail but overall this is not a difficult trail if you are reasonably in shape.
