SUMMARY:Stairhike: Return to Blue Heaven #3 - 3 mi\, 1.5 hours
DESCRIPTION:Come explore the hills of north Silver Lake\, where the vast Ivanhoe and Silver Lake reservoirs reflect the heavenly blue sky beneath Dodger Stadium and surroundings. This urban hike winds through stairs\, streets\, and sidewalks over two Silver Lake hills. The hike covers a range of local topics including the history of water\, infrastructure\, protected habitat\, mid-century modern architecture\, movie studios\, immigration and LGBTQ history. Conversation will again focus on the Dodgers\, who had the lowest batting average\, .203\, for a winning World Series team since when? and who was the winning team for that World Series and who were their opponents?\nThe two hills are each a 600-700 foot elevation gain on stairs for a combined total gain of 1\,200 feet. The hike starts at the Silver Lake Meadows\, just across the street from the Neutra VDL House at 2300 Silver Lake Blvd\, Los Angeles\, CA 90039. There is free street parking along Silver Lake Boulevard across from the reservoir and on Armstrong Avenue\, off of Silver Lake Blvd. The best option is to find parking on the east side of Silver Lake Boulevard before you reach 2300 Silver Lake Boulevard. Cross at the cross walk with a traffic light in front of the VDL House. Bring at least 1 liter of water and any snacks to eat while hiking. Also\, bring a headlamp or other light source. Wear sneakers\, trail runners or hiking boots with grippy soles. You can bring well behaved dogs on leash.\nThere are no restrooms at Silver Lake Meadows. The closest restrooms are located on Glendale Boulevard at Starbucks (2560 Glendale)\, Astro Diner (2300 Fletcher)\, Gingergrass (2396 Glendale) and Red Lion Tavern (2366 Glendale). The Silver Lake Recreation Center and The Silver Lake Branch Library are closed in the evenings.
