A privately guided tour, this hike is designed for those who crave an active and memorable Los Angeles experience, with incredible views, photo opportunities and a true connection to one of the most iconic landmarks in the world. The hike is led by a professional Los Angeles guide and includes bottled water and light snacks. Hiking boots are not required, as athletic shoes, sneakers or trail shoes are sufficient for this four- to six-mile hike. Wear comfortable active attire, and bring sunglasses, sunscreen and a hat, especially since there is limited shade on portions of the hike. This experience is best suited for those who are interested in a moderate intensity walk/hike rather than an easy stroll. Transportation to and from the hike is included.
