"Hike Los Angeles's famous Runyon Canyon with rescue dogs, helping them exercise and socialize."
"This hiking experience involves picking up rescue dogs to accompany you on your hike. Participants can bring their own friendly dogs. The hike provides exercise and socialization for the animals and helps generate interest in the animal welfare organization Free Animal Doctor."
"The vibe is oh-so-Hollywood, with shirtless model bros and blondes in yoga pants with tiny dogs. There are two hiking routes, the longer of which is a real workout. Those guys definitely earned their abs. 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, Krista Simmons
A classic Hollywood Hills loop with generous views and popular off-leash areas. Time Out keeps it on best-of lists, while 2025 coverage in the Los Angeles Times confirms it’s open with the West Trail still closed.
