You could climb Mt. Whitney -- or, like writer Dan Koeppel, get exercise (and more vertical ascent) on a 16.2-mile 'walking tour' of Los Angeles' outdoor stairs.

One . . . more . . . step. Almost there. Top of the hill. Don't step on the smashed guavas. Step over the giant philodendron. Ignore the snapping dog.
