Misha NoneyobusinessNovember 21, 2013My favorite hike in Los Angeles because of the green and lush trail. You hike next to a little stream with greeneey everywhere. For a real challenge continue on to observatory trail.Upvote6Downvote

Many trails to hike and people are friendly. Dogs should be on a leash and don't go at dusk because the coyotes come out!Upvote2Downvote
