Stair Trek and beyond

Big Parade LA
While the Bramblers have been on hiatus since we scrubbed the 11/20 3rd annual return to Mt Baldy due to bad weather some of us have started to attend the legendary LA stairway treks put together by Dan Koeppel and his compatriots in the Big Parade LA and the Los Angeles Stairstreet Advocates.

Upcoming January 2011 hikes are listed on the LA Stairstreet Advocates Facebook page, and range from an brisk 2.5 miles evening stroll of 14 stairways in Los Feliz' Franklin Hills, thru a moderate late afternoon 6 stairways/6 miles in Mt. Washington, to the ultimate (and original) extreme all-day (8 AM-6 PM) 68 stairway/24 miles "Stair Trek"!

We've already made a couple commitments to the milder treks - stay tuned for more information, updates and photos from these excellent urban adventures.
