This is a great place to go if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of living in the city of Los Angeles. Sometimes we forget what a great resource we have right in the middle of a city, thanks to a generous person who decided to leave his land to the city instead of passing it down to his heirs. This hike is just challenging enough to get your heart rate up a little bit, but not overly difficult where you have to rest the rest of the day. It's also a dog friendly hike so it's a great place to bring your leashes dog for some exercise and a breath of fresh air.

Although rated easy, it is a steep hike on the way up. It might be too much for some kids or folks not conditioned for this. I noticed lots of kids on the trail complaining and crying! But the views are gorgeous, especially on a clear day. Parking is hard to find, leave plenty of extra time for that.

My now favorite playground & trail. Beautiful with loads of wildlife, friendly people. Just all around a lovely scenic area. Great for meditation, easy hikes, solo missions or family excursions, picnic etc!!
