Reaching the Summit at Runyon Canyon ⛰️🥾
Yes—I conquered the peak at over 300 meters above sea level! And it only took about 30 minutes (the starting point is already around 200 meters up)—what an incredibly accessible trail! Best of all, the panoramic views of Los Angeles are absolutely breathtaking: you can see Hollywood, Downtown LA, Century City, Sunset Strip, and on a clearer day, even the ocean! 🌆🌊 Stunning and magical! (If you’re visiting the Hollywood Walk of Fame, I highly recommend coming here 2–3 hours before sunset—it’s super close and totally worth it!) On the way up, I took the East Trail—a bit more adventurous with some dirt paths and light climbing, which made it fun and engaging 🧗♀️. For the descent, I chose the Fire Lane—a wide, smooth path perfect for a relaxed stroll. I even snacked while walking down! 🍇😋 I might be getting spoiled by LA’s trails—such incredible views with minimal effort! It really makes me reflect on my experience hiking Mount Tai in China, which took a full day up and down… Wow, do I miss Mount Tai! 🏔️❤️ #LAHiking #SummitViews #LosAngeles #LATravel #California #ViewsFromTheTop #TrailLife #EasyHike #HollywoodViews #SunsetGoals #NatureInLA #UrbanHiking #Wanderlust #AdventureTime #PeakExperience #ExploreLA #FitFam #ScenicOverlook #TravelDiary #OutdoorVibes
