See the movie stars and the stars in the sky at night on top of this canyon. Great place to walk for exercise and see the views at the same time.

Great place to go if your looking for a morning hike/ run in LA. As a visitor its worth coming to see all the breathtaking views, see lots of dogs and meet locals.

The view takes your breath way, but then again, so does the climb, at least for me, an out of shape woman. Bring water and a sun hat, and dogs love the hike, too.

We love this trail. Up & down, easy on my poor aching knees! Not too hard. Perfect for beginners to intermediate.

Runyon is a great place to hike. One-of-a-kind views. But the best part? It's dog-friendly!

Plenty of trails from easy to challenging. Fairly easy to get to from LA, and some interesting sights on the drive up and back.

tough unrelenting ascent from Hollywood Blvd to Mulholland with lots of young folk and mostly leashed dogs. Smells better than it did a decade ago. Parking is high on impossible.

You can make this hike as easy or as hard as you like. Easier, take the fireroad and do the 45 minute loop. Harder, take the steps or go up the steeper hills. Great views of the valley and Hollywood. On a clear day you can see the beach!
