Secret Walks: A Walking Guide to the Hidden Trails of Los Angeles (Revised September 2020)

Nice bunch of walks rated for ease or difficulty. Different than the well known walks.

Fun book full of walking routes within Los Angeles. Easy read, pictures and drawings to show. The updates are nice

They say "nobody walks in LA" but it's not true. Yes, it may not be the easiest thing to do, but LA is criss-crossed with so many nice trails that it's a real shame that people don't know about them like they should. This book has been a great help to exploring different neighborhoods and finding paths I had no idea were in my own.

Great book! Did my second walk yesterday and it was even more beautiful than the book described. Can’t wait to try out more walks!

For anyone who lives in Los Angeles or who has visitors come to stay this is a great book. It has walks and hikes of various levels of difficulty all over the countyit is very well explained with maps and directions and what to look out for on the way.A perfect way to get to know the area

Walks are reliably rated for effort. This book (and walking) has become part of my ongoing journey to understand Los Angeles better.

Easy instructions to follow.

A great companion book to the Secret Stairs book. This is a collection of another 42 walks that one can take for something to do in and around Los Angeles that doesn't cost anything to do other than the cost of driving there and possibly parking in some locations. So far I've only completed two of the walks. One was Paradise Falls, in Thousand Oaks, and it was interesting to see this beautiful waterfall in the middle of a drought with nothing really around it where one would think a waterfall would be in existence.

Everyone drives around in Los Angeles, and as a result, everyone tends to miss some of the interesting sights. There's more to Los Angeles than you can see from a freeway, and this book does a great job of highlighting some of them. There are nearly four dozen different walking routes in here, and this book provides engaging narration and stories about what you'll see.The walks are sorted into 1-5 star categories in terms of difficulty, and contains all relevant information you'd need (maps, distance, duration, etc). Next time you're in Los Angeles, grab this guide and take a walk.

Cool book that covers some interesting areas of LA, nice guide for dog-owners as well.

great for a start of where to adventure
