The Lake Hollywood Trail is a scenic loop just outside of LA that is perfect for runners, walkers, cyclists, and those from all skill levels.

The Lake Hollywood Trail features beautiful wildflowers in the spring and is wheelchair accessible. A majority of the trail is paved, but approximately .6 miles is on dirt. Some of the trail is shaded, but bring sun protection regardless - especially in the summer. Dogs are not allowed on this trail.

Hike the Lake Hollywood Trail

I’ve always heard about this trail, but never tried it until now. What a lovely little walk and surprisingly right in the middle of Hollywood! If you’re ever in the area, definitely give it a try. Super chill and easy. But if your hair during the summertime, make sure to wear a hat and sunscreen, and bring some water.

An easy, low energy hike. Would do it again just for the bridge.

In Griffith Park, park along Lake Hollywood Drive and walk the paved quarter mile up Wonder View Drive to the start of Wonder View Trail.

Bronson Bat Caves

Who doesn't enjoy a short hike to a scenic/remote location? I know I sure do! After hearing about this spot through word of mouth and the internet, and seemingly never having the time to check it out, I honestly have to say it was a worthwhile trip. This short 0.6 out and back hike/walk to the famous Bronson Bat Caves was one not to disappoint. Once arriving and parking at Griffith Park (parki...

Hollywood Sign via Brush Canyon Trail

Getting to the parking lot near the trailhead and finding an open space can seem like the most daunting part of this whole excursion. There are free parking lots along the road to the trailhead, so keep an eye out. There are also several ways to get to the trailhead from other parking areas; I added a little distance by parking at the Griffith Observatory Parking lot and making my way to the No...

Franklin-Ivar Park

What was once a vacant and deteriorated site, Franklin-Ivar Park was rehabilitated and turned into a small neighborhood park in a densely-populated area in Hollywood. More like a parklette, Franklin-Ivar Park returns some of the native habitats that once thrived in this area on the slopes of the Santa Monica Mountains. The park features a variety of California native plants, a small outdoor am...
