Verdugo Peak
(3,126') is the highest point of Verdugo mountains located in the north of
Glendale and Burbank. To summit Verdugo Peak, there are different trails you
can choose. One of them starts from the north side (La Tuna Canyon) of the
mountains....Hostetter Fire Road. It is a 7.5-mile round trip hike with 1,400'
elevation gain to reach the 3,126-foot summit of Verdugo Peak.
Enjoy great vistas from the top....San Fernando Valley, Burbank, Glendale, downtown Los Angeles and beyond. In the spring time, the canyon becomes quite green and wildflowers pop up everywhere.
Hostetter Fire Road is a wide and well maintained dirt road which offers a gradual ascent to Verdugo Peak. If you like a challenge and great workout, there's a steep trail leaving Hostetter Fire Road. Mark my word...it is very steep. Hiking poles are useful, particularly if you choose to descend via the steep path. Watch your step!
