The Great Los Angeles Walk

Every year on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, the Great Los Angeles Walk debunks all of those cliches about walking in L.A. Hundreds of walkers start the free urban hike on one side of the city and, about half a day later, end up at the other. You can hop on or off the walk whenever you’d like, and though no reservations are required, RSVPs are appreciated. This year’s route starts in Exposition Park—in front of the oldest palm tree in L.A.—and heads toward the Bruin statue in Westwood for a USC-meets-UCLA edition.
