Weekly Spotlight 4/17/16- LA River Trail Greenway – Running/Biking/Spotting

Chris — Mon, 18 Apr 2016 01:00:11 +0000

This beautiful section of Outdoors is found near Griffith Park. It does have shade and splendid views of the LA River flora and fauna so you never know what you might see for Spotting enthusiasts. This section of the river also contains natural artesian wells so water tends to always be flowing as it enters the river basin from down below the river bed.

LA River Trail Green Way Click this link for more details.

In the City of Los Angeles in Los Angeles County, California—connecting approximately seven miles from the north side of Griffith Park at Riverside Drive (at Zoo Drive) along the Los Angeles River to Barclay Street in Elysian Valley, north of Downtown Los Angeles. This is not a loop trail so plan on 14 miles end to end round trip.

This run can be done year round and at times has evening events as well. Plan on bringing extra water during the hotter parts of the day or Summer season.
