Quickie last minute meetup if anyone’s available tomorrow morning (Saturday 8/29/15). Meet at the corner of California & Wilson (in front of S. Mudd Lab at Caltech) at 8:30AM. I don’t have a particular route in mind but we can explore the campus of Caltech first and then cross over and check out PCC. We’ll walk for about an hour, aiming for about 3 miles. Hope you can walk with me!
3.3 mile loop
Hello Walkers! I have been out of town for a bit but am now back and ready to start walking Pasadena again. What better way to get back in the swing of things than a turn around the Rose Bowl, Saturday morning? Look forward to walking with you!

From the CicLAvia website:
Pasadena has played host to parades, bike races and music festivals, and for the first time is opening its streets to the largest car-free open streets event in America. CicLAvia – Pasadena Presented by Metro takes place from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 31. The city will lend its own charm and flair to CicLAvia as participants travel along Colorado Boulevard, and down side streets to parks and historic architecture using foot, pedal and non-motorized wheel power. Go Metro to CicLAvia, the event route will connect to the Memorial and Del Mar the Metro Gold Line Stations enabling participants to have a car-free or car-lite day.
CicLAvia – Pasadena Presented by Metro is the most walkable CicLAvia to date at 3.5 miles. The cozy distance will offer participants the opportunity to peruse and explore Pasadena’s business gems and cultural treasures. Spurs off the main route on Raymond Avenue and Lake Street will take participants to local parks. And CicLAvia’s new partnership with Kurios – Cabinet of Curiosities, Cirque du Soleil’s newest touring Big Top show, coming to southern California this fall, will give participants young and old a smile-inducing and awe-inspiring entertainment adventure.

We’ll meet at the benches in front of the Rose Bowl Aquatics Center at 2PM.
5.5 miles round trip. The walk can be shortened at various points – e.g. cross the Arroyo at the San Rafael foot bridge. Likewise, walkers could add a Rose Bowl loop (3.3 mi) or stroll around Brookside park to lengthen the walk.
The walk: From the parking lot, we’ll cross the street and head south where we’ll leave the road at a trail map sign to drop down under the 134 Freeway bridge and the Colorado street bridge. There is running water, trees, wildlife, and the path is uneven in places with one short steep section. Once we cross under the bridges, the path becomes flat with a packed dirt surface and follows the arroyo “river”. We will pass the archery range, the “camel’s hump”, the stables, and finally we will end up in South Pasadena at the Lower Arroyo Park. We’ll cross the bridge, and return on the other side.
Hope you will join us! This is a great walk to do in a group. Suitable for all! You can RSVP on the Facebook Event, contact us to let us know to expect you, or simply show up!
We had a great time on Saturday walking around the Rose Bowl (~3 miles) with an excellent group of people. Gorgeous weather, lots of people all out enjoying getting moving.
Thanks for walking with me!
Stay tuned for another walk coming up Saturday, January 31.
