Hiking Culture L.A

Text

You can’t start your hike with out water and a snack. Hikers at Runyon Canyon in Los Angeles must be very honest people.

Because this little store ran on the

honor system. There was no attendant.

Just simply put your money in a slot to pay for the water

and snacks you want.

Hiking Culture L.AHere hikers gather to do some

yoga pre hike. It was very interesting to see yoga in the wild. Hikers in Los Angeles seem to be

very accepting of Eastern practices here in the West. It’s almost as if hiking for people is spiritual or

can clean their mind after a hard day or week.

Hiking is not just for humans

I noticed that dogs receive almost human like status. They are free to roam and play on

the hiking trail. Sometimes there seemed to be more dogs then people. Here a dog takes

a quick break on the trail. Hiking is also way to get your

dogs exercise

Hiking Culture L.A

There is no age discrimination for people who want to hike in Los

Angeles. I observed a wide range of ages.From kids still needing to be pushed in a strollers to an old man

charging the trails with cane. People hike solo and in groups ranging from two people to Large families and groups of friends.

Here people of different races, shapes and sizes can come together. I was amazed at the diversity. Hiking culture in L.A is like a melting pot of race, genders and orientation. I saw every type of person imaginable. Everyone seemed to get along and be very excepting of

everyone. Monday, September 23, 13

shirtless in running shorts or just got off of work. It didn’t even matter if you

were wearing proper running shoes. hiking in L.A can be a mixture of

hiking and running. There is no most papular time of the day to Hike in

L.A.

It wouldn’t be hiking in L.A if you didn’t bring your iPhones. Here People stop to take photos for Instagram, Facebook or

other social media websites. I even heard one person holding a business

meeting while hiking.
