LA’s Famous Stairway Hike Guide 🪜⛰️

Spent another sunny weekend hiking with friends—this time, tackling LA’s popular Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook stairs! 💪😅 This iconic stairway offers a solid workout without being overwhelming. Though it looks steep, we reached the top in just 15 minutes! The view from the summit is rewarding, though morning sun can be strong—definitely wear sunscreen and maybe a hat. 🧢☀️ 📍 Address: Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook 6050 Jefferson Blvd, Culver City, CA 90232 🅿️ Parking: Street parking only. Weekend mornings get crowded—I arrived at 9 AM and had to hunt for a spot. 🚗💨 Pro tip: Come between 7–8 AM for easier parking and a quieter climb (and free weekend street parking!). This trail—often called the Culver City Stairs—is a weekend favorite, so expect company! 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🏋️ Workout vibes: You just know your glutes and legs will feel it later. 🍑🦵 The climb gets your heart pumping—many people stretch at the base before starting (smart move!). 📊 Difficulty: Easy ⚡ Intensity: Medium-High (great for lower body!) You can repeat the stairs if you’re feeling strong, or take the gentler slope trail down if you prefer. My routine: ⬆️ Up: Stair climb ⬇️ Down: Side slope trail Perfect for a balanced, satisfying burn without overdoing it. Final take: If you want a fitness-focused hike that’s challenging but not exhausting, and you love a good leg/glute day—add this trail to your regular list, especially if you live nearby!
