Go Take a Hike: Today, Maybe Now
Explore the wonders of Eagle Rock.Take the 134 (or Colorado street) to Figueroa and head north. Park on the right above the Freeway
Once you “bag” the peak (hiker speak) a chair awaits your weary limbs and a little solar night action if someone hasn’t absconded with the batteries. Rested? now head home along this path

Did I mention that author John Steinbeck along with his literary pals, attempted a business in Eagle Rock that involved casting realistic portraits of Los Angeles’ evolving neo-riche? It was called “Faster Master Plaster Casters” and it waslocated here.
