It's hard to
believe? Runyon Canyon Park is located right by Hollywood! It's a great place
for workout and short hikes to explore nature. It also offers a dog park, so
pet friendly environment. Trails are moderately steep, and some are very steep,
but short. You can choose paved or dirt trails, and also loop or through hike.
Like Griffith Park, this is a very popular park among walkers and runners. So,
you won't be alone on the trail.
There are a few different entrances depending on where you want to start....from Fuller Ave or Vista St on Hollywood side, or from Mulholland Dr on the north side of the park. West Ridge trail is the steepest and East Ridge is moderately steep. You can loop around both ridges or hike the paved route which runs through between the two ridges.
Views along the trails, Vista points/Inspiration Point and from Indian Rock which is the highest point of the park are spectacular....Hollywood sign, Griffith Park and overlooking Hollywood, DTLA and as far as Parlos Verdes, Santa Monica Mountains and Pacific Ocean to the south as well as San Gabriel mountains and beyond to the north.
Outdoor Yoga class is offered in the park. Parking can be tough as you have to park on the street. Read the sign before you park!
