Rich Riggio and Jessica Chortkoff bring the audience along on another local Hollywood/Studio City hike, this time taking the shorter side of the Betty Dearing Trail, which veers to the right from Nancy Hoover Pohl Overlook. From the LA Times: "Nancy Hoover Pohl was an environmental activist who fought to preserve Fryman Canyon and other areas of the Santa Monica Mountains. In 1952, she persuaded Los Angeles to regulate hillside growth. When officials threatened to build the Laurel Canyon Freeway in the 1970s, linking Los Angeles International and Palmdale airports but slicing through the Santa Monica Mountains en route, Pohl took her lobbying to Sacramento." http://articles.latimes.com/2001/sep/...
