15 Best Hikes in Los Angeles, From Malibu to Mount Baldy | Condé Nast Traveler
"The eight-mile out-and-back to Brown Mountain Dam is moderately strenuous but scenic: the route follows the Gabrielino Trail near the Arroyo Seco, passes the Paul Little Memorial and Gould Mesa Trail Camp (a good rest spot), and finishes at Brown Mountain Dam where falls cascade into a calm pool over mossy concrete; expect rollercoaster-like ups and downs and some rocky outcroppings—plan on at least three hours for this mixed-terrain hike." - Maxwell Williams
