you know I love a good hike, so here are some of my favorites that I've done in LA!
this is a classic LA hike - but it really is a great one! If you want an overview of the city & the hollywood sign, this is definitely your go to spot
Runyon Canyon Park
I've only done this one at sunset but WOW the views from here are stunning!
Mt Hollywood Trail
this trail is in Topenga, so a bit further out from the city, but you get a beautiful view of the ocean and it feels a bit more removed if you want to really step away from the chaos of the city
Trippet Ranch to Eagle Springs Loop Trail
this one is kind of a hidden gem in Brentwood!
Kenter Trailhead
if you're really looking for a workout - this is your perfect leg day hike
Culver City Stairs
LA is a pretty dry place, but here's a hike with an actual waterfall!
Escondido Falls Trail
it wouldn't be a list of hikes in LA if I didn't include one of the many Hollywood sign hikes, so here's the one I've done!
The Brush Canyon Trail
this was actually the very first hike I ever did in LA and I loved it!
Temescal Canyon Trail
all hikes in LA have beautiful views, but the ones that overlook the ocean are honestly my favorites
Inspiration Point View
this isn't technically a hike, but it's a really nice long loop that you can walk around the Hollywood Reservoir
Hollywood Reservoir Trail
this is technically the same as the Culver City Steps BUT there are trails that you can do once you get to the top that are really nice!
