Moderate moonlight hike in the mountains

Moderate moonlight
hike in Santa Monica Mountains
Event
Description -- Come join Mosaic Outdoor Club of Greater Los
Angeles for a moderate moonlight hike in the Santa Monica
Mountains. Steve Berson and David Schwartz will be leading a loop
hike in Mandeville Canyon up to an old Nike base with an
observation tower (as well as water and restrooms). The moon will
be about 75% full and will be high in the sky for our hike - it
should be nice.
The hike is about 5 miles with about
800 feet of gain. Meet at the trailhead at 7:00pm - we leave at
7:15pm sharp. Wear comfortable hiking shoes, and bring one liter
of water, a flashlight (for emergencies only), a sweater or
jacket, and - IMPORTANT - a snack to share at the top.
DIRECTIONS TO TRAIL HEAD:
From Los Angeles, take I-405 North to Sunset Blvd. Go west on
Sunset about 2 miles to Mandeville Canyon Road (stop light across
from a school). Turn right on Mandeville and go about 5 miles to
Garden Land Road (just past Hollyhock on the right). If you miss
Garden Land and hit the end of Mandeville, you have gone about
half a mile too far. Park near the intersection of Garden Land
and Mandeville. We will meet at this intersection at 7:00pm.
From San Fernando Valley, take I-405 South to Sunset Blvd and
follow the directions above.
We should be back at the trailhead around 10:30pm.
Rain cancels, but clouds don't.
