Hiking Up Runyon Canyon is a Good Workout

January 24th, 2010

Runyon Canyon is an off-leash dog park in the Hollywood Hills. The main trail loop (starting at the entrance off Vista) is an easy 3 mile hike that gently ascends up into the canyon. But there is a smaller trail on the left as you enter the park that ascends up the hill and leads you to the highest part of the canyon. That’s the trail me, my wife and our two corgis hiked up. On this ascent there are two wide sections of the trail which are probably an 80 degree incline. I ended up sprinting up these sections of the trail with the corgis and my wife trailing behind. Overall it was a really good leg workout on a beautiful day that I got to share with my wife and our dogs.

What do you have to say?
