Back to the Verdugos via an old standard ascent modified into
a leisurely loop (the last 2/3 is leisurely – the ascent is still strenuous).
The trail gets steep at several points (it follows a ridge
leading up towards Mt Thom) but there are great views along the way and plenty
of chances to stop and rest. 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. Good hiking shoes/gear is recommended –
and bring plenty of water. We’ll have cider and snacks at the junction of
Verdugo & Brand motorways just before we descend the Brand Library fire road.
Meet at 5:30 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).
