One of my favorite hikes nearby. BEAUTIFUL views with the ocean on one side and the rest of LA on another. About 5 miles to the top with a scenic bench, and steep in parks. Make sure to have a bottle of water per person and sunscreen as there isn't much shade! I like to do it early in the morning :)
