Fall Hike: Tongva Peak

Trade your work gloves for hiking boots and join the Friends of Sunshine for a festive fall hike to Tongva Peak! Expect a solid workout, great conversations, and plenty of beautiful autumn scenery. WHEN: Saturday 31st October, 8:30am. WHERE: Sunshine Preserve to Tongva Peak, via Las Flores Motorway & Beaudry Motorway trails. This is a beautiful, moderately challenging 6.25 mile out-and-back hike with 1,570ft elevation gain. It’s a fantastic way to check out more of our wildlife corridor while earning those evening Halloween treats! At the summit of Tongva Peak (2,656ft above sea level) you’ll be rewarded with 360° panoramic views of the LA basin, the Verdugo Mountains, and the San Gabriel Mountains – with glimpses of the ocean if it’s extra clear! Pack some tasty delicacies for a social brunch at the peak. Overall, this hike will take around 3-4 hours, depending on group pace. Feel free to wear flannels or orange to bring the fall vibes to the trail! Wear appropriate hiking shoes, attire and sun protection. Bring at least 1.5 – 2 liters of water, snacks for the trail, and food for brunch at the peak. Meet 8:30am at the welcome boulders at Sunshine Preserve on Sunshine Drive. We will set off at 8:40am prompt. Return time depends on group pace. RSVP below!
