LA Hidden Gem Check-in 🎃 Pumpkin Rock

🌹 Date Perfect for visiting around October 31st—Halloween! 🎃 During this time, it's so fun to walk around and see all the festive decorations at every house. It's a great spot to capture the holiday spirit before the big day! 🤗 🌹 Address Just search "Pumpkin Rock" on Google Maps 🗺️ 🌹 Parking FREE! The site is on a small hill next to a residential area—you can see it from a distance. Park along the road at the base of the hill. 🌹 Admission FREE! 🌹 ⚠️ Hiking Tips Make sure to wear shoes with good grip! 👟 The path is rocky and sandy, and it can be slippery. The hill isn’t very high—round trip plus time for photos should take about an hour. There’s no shade, so sun protection is a must! ☀️ We always bring a hydration bladder when going out—it’s a game-changer for staying hydrated. Highly recommend! 💧 There are several paths up, but the differences are minimal. You’ll see a few access points when you arrive—all require using your hands and feet in some sections. It’s a bit challenging but not dangerous. Our group (dad + 4-year-old + pregnant mom) made it up safely, so no need to worry too much—just help each other along! 👨👩👧👦 🌹 Photos The rock itself is a must-shot! 📸 Sunsets are especially beautiful here. There are also other large rocks behind it that make for great photo backgrounds. Have you been to Pumpkin Rock? What’s your favorite seasonal spot in LA?
