Great place to overlook LA. The hiking trail leads to high viewpoints for casual outdoor sightseeing. Pick a sunny day and enjoy it!
MoreNot a particularly bad hike but man it’s busy! So many people doing this walk but I guess it was because it was a weekend an it’s location. That said it was superbowl Sunday so expected a little people. Nice views but very steep in places.
MoreThis is a great hike for being in the middle of Hollywood. It wasn't at all what I expected and I really enjoyed it. You have great views, can see the Hollywood sign, and the incline is steep enough to get a good workout. Such a great place for dogs as well and many were off leash.
MoreRunyon Canyon is a true Los Angeles treasure! The trails offer breathtaking views of downtown LA, the Hollywood Sign, and beyond—perfect for capturing stunning photos. With a variety of paths, from moderate loops to challenging uphill climbs, there’s something for every fitness level, ensuring a rewarding workout. The weather is typically sunny and mild, making every hike a delight.Midday visits seem quieter these days, possibly due to a dip in the Hollywood film industry's activity, though it’s hard to say if there’s a direct connection. Parking can be tricky—expect to circle around a bit to find a spot. Despite this, Runyon Canyon is a must-visit for a scenic, invigorating hike that showcases LA’s natural beauty.Highly recommended for both locals and tourists!Hooray for HollywoodEnjpyPeace/ Love Be A Proud American
MoreThis is a great option for hiking in the city. The trail is paved on the way up and view is great from the top of the mountain.
