evening. Be sure to bring lots of food and drink to share with other hungry
hikers. See the outings immediately below, ordered from those that
start earliest (most difficult) to those that start latest (easiest).

HPS Annual Business Meeting and Monthly Management Committee Meeting:
All are welcome to attend our
bi-monthly management committee meeting to discuss the business side of
the section and upcoming activities.
Opportunities to become involved are available. The meeting begins at
6:30 PM at Ranger House, at Griffith Park. To have items added to the
agenda or to volunteer, please contact Chair: PAMELA ROWE
Directions: The Ranger House is located south of Los Feliz Blvd on the
east side of Riverside Drive. It shares a large parking lot with
Friendship Auditorium. From Los Feliz Blvd head south on Riverside
Drive, past the soccer fields on your left to Friendship Auditorium.
(Friendship Auditorium is white and the side facing Riverside Drive is a
series of arches.) The entrance immediately in front of Friendship
Auditorium may be the only entrance open to the parking lot.
(Joe Young reported on September 5 that, "There is major construction going on
and it is completely blocking the entrance directly in front of Friendship
Auditorium.
However, the entrance closest to the Ranger House is accessible. There is an
opening in the K-rail (the concrete blocks used near construction zones,
traffic delineators, etc) allowing vehicles to enter the parking lot, but it is
easy to drive past it and miss it.")
Enter here
and proceed to the north end of the parking lot. The Ranger House is a
smaller facility located in the extreme north end of the parking lot.
The parking lot may be quite busy. Friendship Auditorium is heavily used
by large groups. Do not despair: Sufficient parking spaces have been set
aside for our use. But to be safe please arrive by 6:30 PM. Do not
confuse the Ranger House with the Ranger Station Visitor Center commonly
used by the Sierra Club for various functions.

Opportunities to become involved are available. The meeting begins at
6:30 PM at Ranger House, at Griffith Park. To have items added to the
agenda or to volunteer, please contact Chair: PAMELA ROWE
Directions: The Ranger House is located south of Los Feliz Blvd on the
east side of Riverside Drive. It shares a large parking lot with
Friendship Auditorium. From Los Feliz Blvd head south on Riverside
Drive, past the soccer fields on your left to Friendship Auditorium.
(Friendship Auditorium is white and the side facing Riverside Drive is a

Auditorium may be the only entrance open to the parking lot. Enter here

The parking lot may be quite busy. Friendship Auditorium is heavily used
