This is a hidden staircase in Echo Park that is good for a cardio workout. Make sure to cross the street at the top for an amazing view of downtown. This is the stairway at the corner of Baxter St and Avon St. a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 8 min to complete. This is a popular trail for trail running and walking, but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day.
