This hidden gem is a super short and easy hiking trail. BONUS! A personal oasis at the top! 17 miles from Downtown Los Angeles.
Discover this underrated hiking trail near me. For an extra challenge and cardio, opt for the counter-clockwise route. Alternatively, the clockwise route offers a beginner-friendly nature walk, gradually ascending the mountain. This short 2.8-mile hiking trail loop (the clockwise route is what I took), starts with sidewinding trails which leads you halfway. You will then encounter narrow pathways with wildflowers in bloom on either side. Take a quick detour to the right when you see two big rocks on the side of the cliff and climb the little pathway to get a scenic view of the Verdugo Mountains, JPL, Mount Wilson, and the surrounding towns below. As you work your way back up, you'll experience some rocky terrain, tall grass, and IG-worthy pics! Once you've made it to the top, you're hidden oasis awaits - surrounding you with lots of shade, a babbling stream, and a mini waterfall. You won't feel like you're in L.A. anymore! Finish your adventure with an exhilarating mile-long trail run downhill. End with a little picnic at the private park at the bottom of the trail.

About:
Hey, I'm Ron. I've lived in LA most of my life, and I've been hiking local trails for as long as I can remember. I'm no distance runner or a seasoned pro - I prefer my hikes short and sweet (between 5-10km). These hikes and walks I'm documenting are convenient and totally achievable, even for beginners. And the best part? It's all in my backyard! Lace up your hiking shoes and join me on these mini adventures.
