min visit
This beloved 160-acre urban oasis perched at the eastern edge of the Santa Monica Mountains offers locals and visitors a chance to hike above the Hollywood sprawl while soaking in panoramic views of Los Angeles and the Pacific. Multiple trail options wind through chaparral-covered slopes, ranging from gentle walks suitable for families to more challenging ridge hikes that test your endurance. The park's most magnetic feature is its sweeping vista point where hikers catch their breath and capture the glittering city below.
