Runyon Canyon Park is one of my favorite places in LA, especially during a clear sunny morning, the views are amazing and the hike/run offers a great exercise. Runyon Canyon Park has several entrances. On the South valley side, there are entrances on Fuller St and Vista St, on the North hilltop side, it's off Mulholland Dr. Between these entrances there are three main trails/roads. The East Trail and the West Trail are dirt trails with great views. They are a bit steep, especially the West Trail; the central Fire Road is paved road and more gradual. All trails are well marked and easy to follow. There is a more technical and steeper trail between West Trail and Wattles Garden Park. Come around sunrise and sunset, the view is spectacular!

Love this place!! Great trails. Beginner or expert you will find what you need to get your outdoor or hiking trail fix. Great views of the city and chill vibes all around.

One of my go-to hiking places in the area whenever a friend or relative from out of town is visiting LA! Short, relatively easy hike that is essentially a big loop. Plus: - Dog/pet friendly - At the entrance, there are snacks, water, energy drinks, and more available for purchase via the honor system - Pretty views of DTLA, Hollywood, LA... - Hike is short, only takes ~1 hour even if you are a slower walker - Cute gate you can place your own personal lock if you like to! (See pictures) Minus - Very difficult to find parking (street parking only) - Depending on the time of day/week, LOTS of people (but that's the beauty of being in LA, right?) - No shade Overall, a fun place to take anyone, a pet, an acquaintance, a friend. I feel like this is a must-do hike in LA. Check it out to see what you think!

Highly trafficked but enjoyable trail, if you want to avoid the crowds take the dirt trails. Bring shoes with ample grip, the trail can and will get pretty dry and loose.

Which trail to get good view of Hollywood sign.

Tracy Seibert | Aug 26, 2019
Joia DaVida | Aug 26, 2019

The stairs/east ridge, but you can also get up there on the paved fire road. Of course "good view" is in the eye of the beholder. Lake Hollywood park or Griffith can get you much closer with a much better view

Can you take strollers ?

Maricela Gabriel | Aug 26, 2018
Joia DaVida | Aug 26, 2018

Only on the fire road. You would have to enter at Mulholland or vista st. If you enter at fuller, you would have to take a non-paved path to get up to the fire road. You could easily do it with a jogging stroller, but only on the fire road.

How long does a complete hike take?

Torrey Grimaldi | Aug 26, 2019
Joia DaVida | Aug 26, 2019

It really depends on which hike you choose, if you want to do a loop or hike in and out, and how fit you are. The easiest trail is the paved fire road. It's just over a mile to the overlook, so however long it would take you to hike uphill and downhill about 2 miles. I'm usually done with a full loop in under 2 hours.

Asia J | Aug 26, 2018
Joia DaVida | Aug 26, 2018

It depends on what time of day you go and which trail you take. There is zero shade on the spine trail, all the way to mullholland. In the morning, the paved fire road has some shade.

Any street or space you can find around, but read all street signs and restrictions by the days and hours. Once you get to Fuller gate you'll figure it out. Never had problem finding parking, but takes longer for weekend.

It’s it open on rainy days?

Jiovanni Deanda | Aug 26, 2019
Aaron Stall | Aug 26, 2019

There's nothing a few minutes' search brought up. It's fair to say, it'll remain open for rain unless it's deemed a danger from flashfloods, mudslides, or lightning. If you think it's too dangerous from the weather than best to consider other parks. Good information can be found here: https://myla311.lacity.org/splash/splash.html Or "MyLA311" App or online.

Can you exit the park normally after dusk when it's supposed to close, or do you have to climb out because the gates are closed?

Maria Johanns | Aug 26, 2018
Luis Ortega | Aug 26, 2018

The park closes at sunset. And it is hit and miss when the park rangers close it on time. But usually doesn't get closed too late. So you might have to climb the gate if you don't want to wait for someone to come and open it.

Can you drive up the hike?

Debbie Gutierrez | Aug 26, 2018
Ken Poopy | Aug 25, 2020

Not unless you are a park ranger.
