Runyon Canyon Rd

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

"COVID-19 update: Open for socially distant hiking although restrooms may be closed. In addition to the great workout, this hike provides some of the best views in LA. There are a few different trails to choose from (depending on how hard you want to work) and since this is one of the most popular hikes in LA, you're bound to have some company. Reward yourself with a healthy, vegan lunch to-go afterward at nearby Café Gratitude, or, you know, grab a cone at Scoops.
