Need a challenging new neighborhood route in L.A.? Head to Silver Lake for this tough 16-mile walking/running route that includes 40 historic staircases. And it counts only if you go
up the stairs. Cameron Kruse, 31, created the route (and the rules) because he was looking for close-to-home adventures to get him through the pandemic.
His quests usually take him to rock faces to climb, or the Himalayas, where he photographs and works on digital storytelling, something he calls “scrollytelling.” “My day job is a creative technologist. I figure out ways to tell stories with technology, but I moonlight as a National Geographic explorer,” the rock climber and runner said.

If you’ve got a smartphone or tablet, you can participate in the challenge, an effort to map urban wildlife over a four day period.
Elizabeth Goward, volunteer programs manager with McKenzie River Trust, said, using the free I-naturalist app, you can photograph wildlife in the urban environment. “Anything from plants to birds to bugs, worms, really most science is happening in more remote areas and generally in the context of academia,” Goward said. “So, what this project really aims to do is to document as much biodiversity as possible.”
