Trail Information
Full Review: West Valley residents,
here's your after-work hike - easy to get to, not too taxing, and pretty
enough when a low sun tints it orange that you could even call it peaceful.
(How often can you say that about the valley?)
From the parking lot, walk toward the entrance to find the trail behind the
white fence. Follow it up the ridge as it climbs all the way to Mulholland
Dr., giving you overhead peeks at the San Fernando Valley Country Club and
all types of valley suburbia along the way. When you reach Mulholland, turn
around.
