Hiking LA Guide

Written By Helen Boulos

Morning light, oak trees, and a cup of coffee before the climb — that’s my favorite kind of Los Angeles reset. I’ve gathered my three go-to hikes — Ferndell to Griffith Observatory, Runyon Canyon, and the Hollywood Sign via the Batcaves — into one downloadable guide.

Each includes the exact parking address, best time to go, trail difficulty, and little details (like which café to stop at after). Whether you’re an early-morning walker or a golden-hour dreamer, these trails feel like the best of LA — open skies, endless views, and a reminder to keep moving forward.
