About the Hike

Debs Regional Park is one of Northeast Los Angeles’ hidden gems. Nestled in Montecito Heights near Highland Park, it offers a serene oasis amidst the urban landscape. Our curated route features a mix of trails, dirt roads, and paved pathways, blending natural beauty and tranquility.

The hike begins at Debs Park, accessed via Rose Hill Park. Our journey includes:

• A secluded urban trail leading to a flat picnic area with paved walkways.
• A short but invigorating climb to a scenic overlook featuring Peanut Lake, Boundary Peak, and stunning views of historic Los Angeles.

Distance and Elevation Options

• Full hike: Approximately 3 miles round trip with a 500-foot elevation gain.
• Shorter hike: 1.5 miles with a 100-foot elevation gain.

Accessibility:

For those with knee / leg issues or mobility concerns, you’re welcome to relax at the picnic area while the group completes the hike.

Rain Policy:

This event will be canceled if it rains. Everyone will be notified.

Lunch Details

After the hike, enjoy a taco lunch with all the fixings, provided by HFS. To ensure we have enough for everyone, RSVP by 12:00 PM on Wednesday, December 18.

Calling All Sighted Guides!

Our hiking events are designed for visually impaired participants (VIPs) to experience the outdoors. We rely on the support of sighted guides, and as the interest in our hikes grows, so does our need for volunteers.

No prior guiding experience? No problem! We provide training to ensure every VIP has a dedicated guide. If it’s your first time, contact Racquel Decipeda for a quick orientation, 818-457-1482.
