Hike at Debs Park
Hearts For Sight (HFS) is excited to announce its return to Debs Regional Park in Northeast Los Angeles, nestled in Montecito Heights near Highland Park—a serene oasis amidst the urban hustle. Our carefully curated route offers a delightful blend of the wild and the serene, encompassing trails, dirt roads, and paved pathways.
Our adventure begins at Debs Park, accessed through the neighboring Rose Hill Park. We’ll ascend a secluded urban trail leading to a flat picnic area adorned with paved sidewalks. The journey includes a brief yet invigorating climb up a steep hill, unveiling scenic views of Peanut Lake, Boundary Peak, and the historic heights of old Los Angeles.
Please note that a segment of this hike may pose challenges for individuals with knee issues or mobility constraints. If this applies to you, you have the option to remain at the picnic area, awaiting the group’s return for a communal lunch. The full round-trip trek spans approximately 3 miles with a 500-foot elevation gain. The shorter hike is 1.5-mile hike with a 100-foot gain. Please be aware that the event is subject to cancellation in case of rain.
Meet at 8:30 AM at Rose Hill Park, 3606 Boundary Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90032. Lunch will be served around 12:30 PM, so it’s safe to ask for Access pickups at 2:30 PM.
HFS is excited to offer a scrumptious taco lunch, complete with all the delightful trimmings. To ensure we cater to everyone’s appetite, an RSVP is a must. Kindly confirm your attendance by no later than noon on December 14th, allowing us ample time to organize and prepare the delectable feast.
Calling Out for Sighted Guides: Our hiking events cater to visually impaired individuals (VIP), offering them the chance to experience the outdoors. We depend on dedicated sighted guide volunteers, and as interest in our visually impaired hikes increases, so does our need for guides. No prior guiding experience is necessary, as we ensure each VIP participant has their own guide. For a quick guide on sight-guiding, click this link.
