Verdugo Mountain Park

Additional Information
Location Map

This hike is best done on a cool, crystal clear day. You will be rewarded with spectacular views of Los Angeles, the San Gabriel Mountains, and possibly the islands laying off the southern California coast. The hike has almost no shade and the trail is a wide fire road with scrub brush on both sides of the trail (i.e. no shade). Note that when you reach the radio towers, follow a trail that runs up against the chain link fence surrounding the towers, and you will find a bench to sit on with a breathtaking view of L.A.

Trailhead: Located in Glendale on Beaudry Boulevard, 0.4 miles west of Country Club Drive. Park on the street, walk up a paved segment of fire road past a vehicle gate and continue on to where the fire road splits (about 0.3 miles). (Lat:34.19372 Lon:-118.24173)
