Old Zoo Trail

This trail is easy peezy. Easy access and lots of parking all around and it took me about an hour, at a moderate pace, to get through the loop. You can also explore the old ruins of the LA zoo which is kind of creepy but cool at the same time. It’s a popular trail and you’ll encounter a lot of people on it, so if you have dogs, make sure they are on leash. Bring water and enjoy the loop.

Los Angeles River: West Bank Trail

Glendale Peak via Henry's Trail

Glendale Peak is often passed over by people hiking to Mt. Hollywood, and while it is not as high as its neighbor summit, it boasts arguably better views that you will enjoy all to yourself. While not really a full hiking trail and more of a small detour, Henry's Trail is worth the small uphill climb to Glendale Peak. The trail is accessed via the East Ridge Trail (Hogback Trail), about 2.6 m...

This trail is closed as is the Beachwood Gate which is used to access the Hollyridge Trail will be permanently closed on April 18th, 2017 due to a court order. Check out Hollywood Sign via Brush Canyon Trail for an available option. There are three ways to get to the Hollywood Sign. This route has the best views of the city and the sign on your way up. The trailhead is at the end of Beachwoo...

Hollywood Sign via Brush Canyon Trail

Getting to the parking lot near the trailhead and finding an open space can seem like the most daunting part of this whole excursion. There are free parking lots along the road to the trailhead, so keep an eye out. There are also several ways to get to the trailhead from other parking areas; I added a little distance by parking at the Griffith Observatory Parking lot and making my way to the No...

Wisdom Tree

In Griffith Park, park along Lake Hollywood Drive and walk the paved quarter mile up Wonder View Drive to the start of Wonder View Trail. Here, walk through the yellow gate and make the first right after the road turns to dirt. Head up this unmarked single track path heading east up the mountain. The steep, rocky trail ascends to Cahuenga Peak. A Half of a mile from the end of the road, it rea...

Bronson Bat Caves

Who doesn't enjoy a short hike to a scenic/remote location? I know I sure do! After hearing about this spot through word of mouth and the internet, and seemingly never having the time to check it out, I honestly have to say it was a worthwhile trip. This short 0.6 out and back hike/walk to the famous Bronson Bat Caves was one not to disappoint. Once arriving and parking at Griffith Park (parki...
