We enter the river at the new car-free "Red Car Pedestrian Bridge", so named after the legendary Red Car Rail Trolleys that rumbled over the L.A. River at the same spot more than 60 years ago. The new metal bridge, with red stripes running down its sides, is for pedestrians and cyclists only. We'll also learn about our beloved LA River, the lifeblood of Los Angeles throughout its early history, providing essential water for life in this arid region. Without this river, LA would have never existed. We’ll be standing under Hyperion Bridge, a replica of which also has been built in Disneyland. Walt Disney lived 5mins away in Los Feliz where he created Mickey Mouse in his Aunt and Uncles garage. He later, had his first Studio here in Silver Lake and was a regular at Tam O’Shanter, table 31 right here in Atwater Village. Built in the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Glendale Hyperion Bridge complex has been designated as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument.5 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location

Riders can encounter native wildlife (bobcats anyone?), hikers, horse riders and more! Designated as an Historic-Cultural Monument (HCM) and the largest municipal park with urban wilderness in the United States, the park’s natural chapparal-covered terrain and manicured picnic areas is also home to the Los Angeles Zoo, the Autry Museum of the American West, the Griffith Observatory, and the Hollywood Sign - ALL of which you'll see on this ride1 hour • Admission Ticket FreeView Location5
