Take A Hike
Get ready to hike like a local in West Hollywood. From self-guided hikes to Malibu wine hikes West Hollywood has is all.
Connecting with nature might not be the first thing you associate with visiting West Hollywood. But locals know: Los Angeles is bursting with scenic trails and spectacular views. In other words, it’s a great place to take a hike!
Guided hikes
If you’re unfamiliar with the area, start with a guided tour. Bikes and Hikes LA will get your heart pumping. On a Rock ‘n Walk tour of the Sunset Strip or a Jogging Tour of Beverly Hills, veteran musician Jon D’Amico provides juicy stories about the Sunset Strip’s glory days – you might even forget you’re sweating.
Runyon Canyon
Runyon Canyon has several draws—its natural beauty, stunning views of mid-city and downtown, and its proximity to Hollywood, which means it’s often chock-full of starlets and Instagrammers climbing their way to the top.
Griffith Observatory
One of the most iconic venues in Los Angeles is Griffith Observatory, an Art Deco masterpiece completed in 1935. Named for Griffith J. Griffith, who donated the land for the park and funds for the building, it houses a famous planetarium (part of Rebel Without a Cause was shot there). It’s also an excellent spot to see the Hollywood sign.
Bronson Canyon
A more secluded part of Griffith Park is Bronson Canyon, sometimes called Bronson Caves. An excavation company dug the caves before closing down in the 1920s. The ruggedly austere exterior has served as a shooting location for many films and TV shows.
