60 Hikes Within 60 Miles Los Angeles Including San Gabriel, Ventura, And Orange Counties

As you approach the top, you may start to hear echoes of "wow" and "awesome" from the hikers who made it to the top before you. At nearly 1,300 feet, this observation point offers a truly stunning view of Los Angeles, especially on clear days after it rains. The entire city stretches below you, framed by the Pacific Ocean to the right and, in the winter, the snow-capped San Gabriel Mountains to the left. One of the best times to take it all in is in the early evening just before sunset. This point can also be accessed easily from Mulholland Drive. There's a small parking lot, although be aware that it closes punctually at sunset.Randall, Laura is the author of '60 Hikes Within 60 Miles Los Angeles Including San Gabriel, Ventura, And Orange Counties', published 2006 under ISBN 9780897326384 and ISBN 0897326385.
