[mappress]

This three-mile, round-trip hike through Lila Wilacre Estate Park in Los Angeles’ Fryman Canyon, takes you from the San Fernando Valley floor to the top of the Hollywood Hills. The park, once the estate of a silent film star, is part of the Betty B. Dearing Trail, an ambitious attempt to create a hiking trail that extends from Griffith Park to the Pacific Ocean. Wilacre Park is located a half-mile south of Ventura Blvd. just off Laurel Canyon Blvd. at 3431 Fryman Canyon Road in Studio City. There is a large dirt parking lot located at the trailhead and the hike offers breathtaking valley views as you rise ever higher.

FAQs:

What Should I Expect?

Young people 10 & over are welcome to attend...

The Valleywood Fit Girls offer a free monthly hike to both women and men (and chaperoned children 10 years & older). Our goal is simple, to show you how working out with friends can be fun. We assemble in the parking lot near the beginning of the trail. We will start you off with a light stretching session. The hike itself will take about 45 mins to an hour. The steepest part of the trail is at the beginning of the hike. The trail levels toward the middle and tapers off toward the end. If we have time, we may bring you to the top of the park to do some calisthenics exercises for your abs.  We will be taking pictures throughout the hike and taping hiking testimonials from many of you.

How should I dress?
Shorts and tank tops are appropriate. Hats and/or sunglasses, or if you are like Bernie, sport both! Regular tennis shoes are fine. Wear shoes that you mind getting dirty.

Scenes from the hike

What do I bring?

• A great attitude and positive vibes!
• A napsack, small backpack or fannypack to carry your personal items
• Your cameras so you can share your photos and inspire your friends
• Those prone to overheating should bring plenty of water

Parking
Parking is available in the lot for $3. Street parking is available on Ventura and in the residential neighborhood, however arrive early because those spots go quickly.

What do we do, should nature come calling?
We are not hiking in the wilderness. It’s Studio City!! So YES, there is a bathroom and water fountains on the trail for your convenience.

Can I promote my business/products at your event?
We welcome any sponsors who can aid us in effort. However, our guest hikes are not a platform to promote your products. Business cards are definitely okay, but please do not just show up with samples, catalogs, or the intention to distribute any promotional materials without prior consent. Those who ignore this rule will not be allowed to hike…well we don’t own the trail, but we won’t be happy about it and we’ll record a VFG diss video in your honor. Please be respectful of what we are trying to do!

Conditioning

Are you trained professionals? Is anyone certified to do CPR?
We have several talents, but saving lives ain’t on the list! Please note that we are not trained fitness professionals and will not have any first aid kits nor are we certified to perform any medical procedures. If you are undergoing health challenges, please bring a hiking buddy with you just in case you need to break away from the group, and sit a spell. We will wait for those who are winded, but  we just want to make sure you have good company should you need a looooong break.

Will you take pictures of guest hikers?
Um duh! That’s what we do! The VFGs will take tons of pictures of you all and interview you before and after the hike. Photos will live on Facebook and our blog. Bring your cameras so you can share your footage with family and friends.

With all that said, we really hope to see you there!

Best,
Valleywood Fit Girls Club
“Too Vain to Gain”
If we can do it, so can you!
