Glendale Peak — Attraction in Los Angeles

Glendale Peak is a fine peak summit, hosting grand views of downtown Los Angeles, the San Gabriel Valley, and the San Gabriel Mountains. Moreover, it has sweeping views from a vantage at the southeast end of the Santa Monica Mountains. The 1,190-foot peak pokes out above the southeast side of Griffith Park at the end of a ridge that runs down from Mount Hollywood. Hike is about 2.5 to 3.3 miles round trip with 330 to 405 feet of elevation change.This hike up to Glendale Peak uses two wide dirt trails, Riverside Trail and East Ridge Trail (also known as Hogback Trail) to find a short single track to the summit. Overall, I highly recommend this...

Beautiful all around. This has now become my favorite trail. There's so much to it. I Highly recommend if you're looking for a place to connect with nature and get a peace of mind.

Pet friendly as long as their on a lease.

Parking may be a hassle so arrive early...
