The Top 5 Reasons to Hike Runyon Canyon

Travel | By Rebecca Poole | 3 Likes

Even if you’re not an avid hiker, you’ve probably heard a thing or two about Runyon Canyon. This Los Angeles hiking spot is one of the most popular in the region—a favorite among visitors, locals, and celebrities alike. It’s not the place to head to if you want a full wilderness immersion, but for an easy-to-moderate 3 mile hike, Runyon Canyon is just the spot.

Here’s why you should consider an afternoon at Runyon Canyon for your next workout:

It’s dog-friendly.

That’s right, you can exercise yourself and your happy pups all at once. If your dog doesn’t do well around other types of dogs, maybe skip Runyon Canyon, or go solo. And remember to always keep your four-legged friend leashed!

The panoramic views.

If you want to experience 360 views of Hollywood and the Pacific Ocean, then make sure to make it to Cloud’s Rest—the trail summit that offers up great views. Throughout the hike, you’ll also get a glimpse of some jaw-dropping mansions, and of course, the Hollywood Sign.

Possible celebrity sightings.

The Kardashians, Charlize Theron, Orlando Bloom, and plenty of other A-list stars frequent Runyon Canyon often. Tired of scoping out Nobu to potentially see your favorite celebrities? Maybe try a hike on this popular trail instead.

 

kids running up slight incline

It’s relatively easy.

Hiking Runyon Canyon isn’t the most strenuous trail experience. While it has steady inclines and moderate routes that’ll have you working up a sweat, it isn’t the most difficult hike you could choose in the Los Angeles area. For this reason, it’s a great choice for beginners, or for more experienced fitness gurus who want a less intense day on the trails.

It’s ideal for the “lazy” workout person.

If you’re someone who has to practically drag yourself to the gym a few times a week, and even then, you don’t particularly enjoy your workout experience, Runyon Canyon could be the perfect solution. Who can pass up a sunny day on a trail that has 360 views of Hollywood and a possible celebrity sighting on the horizon?

LA is full of great hiking experiences, so make Runyon Canyon one of them next time you’re in need of an enjoyable workout.
