Elysian Park Trail

Patricia Sarmiento-Orozco

I enjoy this hiking trail because it is on a hillside and you can get a great view of downtown Los Angeles. The path has an incline so you should wear hiking shoes to avoid slipping. There is a tiny parking lot next to the trail entrance, but you can also park at Elysian Park at the bottom and go up the trail through a bottom entrance.

Perfect local getaway to catch some fresh air and city views. If you connect both sides of the park you can hit roughly 6 miles and there are a few options to extend it further depending on how far you need to go.

Just about the perfect trail if you want a city view!! The trail itself is not too steep so it should be fine for most anyone who is willing to walk a little. But if not, there is also parking that can be found if you drive up as well. While the views of LA are great expect to see plenty of graffiti here as well. Being a local, however, I believe it adds to the charm of the place. Dodgers Stadium also looks great from this point too! That was a welcome surprise 🏟.
