The Eagle Rock Canyon Trail - trail head — Attraction in Los Angeles

Parking was easy at noon on a weekday. The hike itself is not great. It’s overgrown dusty was quite hot. The day we went and at times it’s hard to see where trail goes. We didn’t make it to the top because we didn’t really bring water and we’re kind of tired, but honestly wouldn’t really recommend this hike. Most of the time the sounds of nature were drowned out by the road that was the north of us that had giant industrial trucks driving on it the entire time we were hiking. They are going to a landfill over the next hill. Also, you don’t actually really get a view of the eagle rock itself. Best viewed from the freeway honestly kind of interesting to hike around it, but the foliage was not what you’d expect.

After the hike, at home, DVD "Where Eagles Dare" and be proud you're one of the few who rode...

Simple 10 minute hike to the top. Entrance is off Patricia Way at the end of the cul-de-sac to the left of the private driveway.

Trail is very narrow with a little overgrowth at some parts, but is a fairly easy hike. There are some steep parts, but didn't need any walking sticks It's about 10 minutes to the top. At the top, you get a nice view of downtown LA and all the...
