15 Best Hikes in Los Angeles, From Malibu to Mount Baldy | Condé Nast Traveler

"The vibe is oh-so-Hollywood, with shirtless tech bros and wellness girlies in yoga pants with tiny dogs–you could even spot an actor or two on your descent. The main loop is closed from the recent fire, but there’s still plenty of trail to amble on to get to that cinematic view of Downtown LA. Runyon is beyond simple to navigate. You may need to take a few breathers on the ascent, to catch your breath and to take selfies at the vantage points throughout (both are necessary). This is perfect for the traveler who doesn't want to stray far from the city for beautiful views or for a quick workout." - Maxwell Williams
