Itinerary:

East Palisades is one of my favorite parks. The plan is to take various official and unofficial trails all around the area for 2 hours covering 6 miles I will plan on going a moderate but not slow pace of roughly 3 mph.

Please note that some of the trails are very steep so it isn't really for beginners. I have been told that this route is on the harder side for a D3 and intend on going rain or shine.

We will meet at the INDIAN TRAIL ENTRANCE! There is a $3 parking fee.
