Route Description Hyperlapse video of Segment K
Route Features: This route starts out traversing the I-110 corridor from the Solano under-crossing, passing through industrial then residential areas to Sycamore Grove Park. From Sycamore Grove, the route follows a southwesterly half-loop around Mt Washington, a scenic/hilly and primarily residential area, and includes the recently discovered Upper Vista Gloriosa stairway, as well as Tillie and Kilbourn stairways in Cypress Park. Next the route heads into hilly/scenic/residential Glassell Park, then crosses Eagle Rock Blvd to venture to the edge of Adams Square, yet another residential and hilly neighborhood, before working its way back through more residential territory on Yosemite Blvd toward the last pair of stairways leading up to Colorado Blvd at Mt Helena Ave.
Start Location: Lincoln/Cypress Metro L (Gold) Line Station, which is train accessible on the Metro L (Gold) Line, north toward Pasadena, or south to Union Station.
Finish Location: Figueroa St at La Loma Rd, which is bus accessible on Figueroa, via Metro Bus Line 81 to the Metro L (Gold) Line, or Metro Bus Line 180 to the Metro B (Red) Line.
