Get ready for another exciting outdoor adventure with Hearts for Sight (HFS and the Sierra Club)! We’re heading back to one of our favorite spots—Ernest E. Debs Regional Park! Nestled in Montecito Heights near Highland Park, Debs Park is a hidden oasis in the heart of Northeast LA, offering a mix of scenic trails, peaceful picnic spots, and breathtaking views of the city skyline.
What to Expect:
Our carefully planned route features:
✅ A secluded urban trail leading to a flat, accessible picnic area with paved walkways.
✅ A short but energizing climb to a stunning overlook with views of Peanut Lake, Boundary Peak, and historic Los Angeles.
Choose Your Adventure:
Full Hike: ~3 miles round trip | 500-foot elevation gain.
Shorter Option: ~1.5 miles | 100-foot elevation gain.
For those with knee or mobility concerns, you’re welcome to relax at the picnic area while the group completes the hike.
Weather Note:
In the event of rain, the hike will be canceled, and all registered participants will be notified.
