The timing for the release of Paul Haddad’s 10,000 Steps a Day in L.A. could not have been better. With Angelenos looking for something safe to do during the pandemic, why not explore the City of Angels…on foot.  You might just feel healthier and lose some of that “Covid” weight.

The book’s 52 walking adventures will take you all over the Southland from Simi Valley to the South Bay and Pasadena to Pacific Palisades. For each walk of approximately 10,000 steps, Haddad provides detailed maps and directions; descriptions of the terrain; where to park; places to picnic, dog –friendliness and other details that will help you navigate the area.  But the best part of each description is the trivia, stories, bits of history and fun facts about the things you will see as he opens your eyes to the ‘hidden LA’.  I love all the secret pathways; hidden murals, defunct attractions; unknown rivers, old bridges, private parks — even an old machine gun nests. There’s also random Extra Steps and Side Steps for those who have more time to spend.

I don’t want to give too much away as part of the fun is discovering all the wonderful places you can find in Los Angeles. So, tuck 10,000 Steps a Day In L.A. into your backpack – it’s like having a personal guide with you so you won’t miss a thing.
