LA River Eco Tour and Secret Stair Hike

Frogtown, Echo Park, and Silver Lake are some of LA's coolest neighborhoods. This walking tour will take you through parts of each while discussing the history of the LA River, transportation, secretive religious groups, and more!

Once the group is ready to go, we will start with a walk along the LA River. That's right, LA has a river - and it even has water! This undervalued waterway is starting to receive a lot of attention from locals and visitors. You'll walk away knowing so much more about the past, present, and future of the LA River.

From Frogtown, the tour will head to Silver Lake. Famous for hipsters, restaurants, and painted stairways. Silver Lake is easily one of LA's most beautiful neighborhoods and you will take a stroll through a section that many never see.

After a short walk through Silver Lake, you will continue to Echo Park. This hilly section of LA has some of our steepest streets and most secluded stairs. Trails left behind by forgotten spiritualists and religious groups provide amazing views of the area as you ascend to our highest point.

Finally, the walk will return to Frogtown for a relaxing stroll by the river. Shops and cafes are beginning to dot the river path and you'll see that this area is a popular spot for bike ride or cup of coffee.
