Local Hikes Committee

Join us on weekly Wednesday hikes

Every Wednesday of the year we have a hike scheduled. (See the schedule below.) Our hikes are rated moderate to strenuous. Most of our hikes are on trail but sometimes we go off trail over steep terrain. The emphasis of our hikes is to have fun in a congenial atmosphere surrounded by the beauty of the mountains. Our knowledgeble leaders will accomodate the needs of hikers of all abilities.

Rideshare Meeting Points: We meet at the La Canada Rideshare Pt.-Angeles Crest Hwy (Hwy 2), just N of Foothill Fwy (I-210). Park on either side of the median strip on the east side of Angeles Crest Hwy between Chehalem and Wiladonda.

History

The Local Walks Committee was created in 1911, with Phil Bernays as its Chair, immediately after the creation of the Southern California Chapter and the selection of its first Executive Committee. Originally, all the chapter outings were conducted by the Local Walks Committee, as there were no Groups or special activity Sections. The Local Walks Committee has been a continuous entity since that time, eventually changing its name to the Local Hikes Committee.
