From on-trail views of iconic landmarks to stunning waterfalls to rugged summits, hikers of all abilities have plenty of opportunities to get out of the city and explore. We\u2019ve compiled a list of some of the top hikes in LA<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

This loop is a great way to stretch your legs and escape the hubbub of city life\u2060\u2014though with the Hollywood sign looming overhead and downtown LA sprawling out beyond the Mulholland Dam, you\u2019ll never forget where you are.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With runners and families taking advantage of its convenient location, it\u2019s unlikely you\u2019ll have the path to yourself. Despite the company, it\u2019s still a pleasant morning or evening stroll. The trail is generally wide, and the abundant trees mean plenty of shady spots to cool off. Just don\u2019t plan on a swim: The manmade lake is part of the city\u2019s water supply, and a chain link fence prevents any side trips down to the shore.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-79258 size-article_body\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"682\" width=\"1024\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rei.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/09\/Hollywood-Sign.jpg?resize=1024%2C682\" alt=\"The Hollywood sign sits on the hillside over a Los Angeles neighborhood.\" class=\"wp-image-79258\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hollywood sign over Mulholland Dam (Photo Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/vagueonthehow\/\">vagueonthehow<\/a> under <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/2.0\/\">CC BY-SA<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hikespeak.com\/trails\/sturtevant-falls\/\"><b>Sturtevant Falls<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>Location<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Arcadia, 22.3 miles northeast of downtown LA<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Length<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: 3.4-mile out-and-back<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Difficulty Rating<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Easy\/intermediate<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Best For<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: A family-friendly trek to a popular waterfall<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Dogs: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leashed<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t let the jam-packed parking lot discourage you; there&#8217;s a reason this hike in Big Santa Anita Canyon is so popular. The trail is easy, and the 50-foot-tall waterfall, which cascades over verdant, moss-covered rocks, is a sight to behold. Although the route starts with little protection from the sun, the road is paved, and there are plenty of benches for a quick break.

What starts as a wide dirt path soon gives way to narrow singletrack that follows the tumbling East Fork San Gabriel River. There are numerous swimming holes along the way as the trail hops from bank to bank until eventually reaching the aptly named Bridge to Nowhere. The span was built in the mid-1930s to connect the San Gabriel Valley to Wrightwood, but in 1938 a flood washed out the road that was supposed to cross it. The thoroughfare was never rebuilt, leaving the bridge all on its own. The views of and from the structure have become an iconic part of the San Gabriels.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/calitrails.com\/2013\/06\/18\/dawson-saddle-to-mount-baden-powell\/\"><b>Dawson Saddle to Mount Baden-Powell<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>Location<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Wrightwood, 67.4 miles northeast of downtown LA<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Length<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: 9.1-mile out-and-back<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Difficulty Rating<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Intermediate\/difficult<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Best For<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: A remote-feeling hike on a well-maintained trail<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Dogs:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Leashed<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This out-and-back hike is not as trafficked as many others in the area.
