Matt was the perfect hike guide. He gave us plenty of historical information about Los Angeles and also good "gee wiz" facts about the city and surrounding areas. Perfect pace, considering it is a strenuous hike, with frequent breaks and even gave us bottled water and served as a photographer :-). You won't be disappointed.
