Route Description

• After about a 2.5 mile climb, you will hit the saddle – take a right!
• Keep going past the Verdugo Peak. make sure to take a right turn at the junction down hill on Hostetter Fire Road. if you don’t take this, you will end up at the other side of the Verdugo Mountains on the Burbank/Glendale side.
• About 2.5 mile down, be careful as there is a huge gap in the earth caused by rain
• Once you hit the pavement, take a right and through the chain link gate on to Edison Fire Road.
• About 2 miles along the 210 free way, you will encounter a severe down hill section.
• You will end up by someone’s back yard and a gate back into residential area
• Back into the western end of the park.
• There are several paths in the park. take any one of them to get back towards the baseball field and where we started.

We will be doing a tough 10 mile loop. First 3 miles are mostly uphill. You can choose to turn back early for less miles.
