Step out of your car and set out on foot to discover hidden streets, architectural masterpieces, Hollywood romance, lost canyons, and vibrant SoCal culture in places like trendy Silver Lake, colorful Echo Park, eclectic Venice Beach, and more. Completely updated and expanded, the second edition of this award-winning book--the first in Wilderness Press's popular Walking series--features expanded trips with dozens of additional points of interest, useful new information like nearby Metro stations and stroller-friendly walks, and four new trips to family-friendly South Pasadena, San Pedro's developing waterfront district, Glendale's picturesque Brand Park and quaint Kenneth Village, and the uber-hip Atwater Village.

This two-color, portable guide, aimed at locals and visitors alike, features 38 walks, detailed maps for each trip, original photos, and critical public transportation information for every trip. Route summaries make each walk easy to follow, and a "Points of Interest" section summarizes each walk's highlights.
