Jack Smith Trail Walk April 23

The eleventh annual Jack Smith Trail Walk, organized by the Mount Washington Association in honor of the celebrated author and Los Angeles Times columnist, Jack Smith, will take place on Sunday, April 23.

The walk consists of a four-mile loop through the historic and picturesque Mount Washington hillside. Walkers will depart in small groups between 9:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. from the tunnel entrance of the Southwest Museum, 234 Museum Drive, Los Angeles. Participation is open to the public and free of charge. Well-behaved dogs on leashes are welcome.

The trail route, walked at a leisurely pace and taking between two and two and a half hours, will wind through the slopes of Mount Washington, affording walkers dramatic vistas of Mt. San Antonio, Mt. San Gorgonio and Mt. San Jacinto - Southern California's highest mountain peak - as well as panoramic views of the San Gabriel and Verdugo ranges.

Docents will call attention to notable craftsman and contemporary architectural landmarks that dot the area.
