Wildwood
Canyon Park offers a variety of trails from moderate to strenuous levels and
whichever trail you choose, the route is generally steep and a bit challenging.
It's a great workout and a challenging hike depending on your level of fitness.
Vital Link trail climbs to the radio tower from the saddle on the way and you can make the hike from the first trailhead at the bottom (beginning) of the park or one of the three other trailheads which steeply ascends from Wildwood Canyon Road, but shorter than hiking from the first trailhead.
This hike started from the third trailhead to catch Vital Link trail to reach the radio tower on the top, and continued to reach Verdugo Peak (3,126') the highest point of Verdugo Mountains. Views along the journey and from the peak are fantastic 360 panoramas in all directions.
Tree of Life (aka Wisdom Tree)....as a side trip on the way to Verdugo Peak, stop by to see a beautiful pine tree near Fire Warden's Grove. The lone pine is known as Tree of Life/Wisdom Tree. (Don't get confused with the other Wisdom Tree on Burbank Peak Via Wonder View trail!) It's worth the side trip to see the lone pine for inspiration!
