Following advice from the internet, we did the hike to Eagle Rock by going up the fire road then back down the Musch trail to create a loop. We had hoped to get an early start since people had said the fire road gets very warm on a sunny day. However we didn't get started until after noon and it... More

We loved our Easter morning hike to Eagle Rock! It was a workout and we were sore the next day, but it was worth it. We saw plenty of wildlife and the views were breathtaking! Arrive early to park on the side of the road to avoid the parking lot fee. This was one of my favorite activities from our... More

We hiked twice in the park on our trip. Both hikes were through lovely terrain. Eagle Rock provides great views in all directions. We saw several trail runners and families. More

I visited this park to do a night hike up to the ridge overlooking Los Angeles. At about 9 p.m., we started up the trail and headed up to the point where the fire road meets the main trail. At this spot, you can look out and see the ocean and all of LA. Simply wonderful! The hike was fairly... More

When my friend and I went, the mountains were fragrant with spring flowers and there had been a steady rain the day before. The state park encompasses streams, a small wetland, live oak forests, scrub covered mountain tops and wonderful views. You can see the ocean from one hill. A sign near the ranger headquarters warned about mountain lions but... More

There were many trails available. We hiked to Eagle Rock which was about a 4.5 mile hike, round trip. There were many places to stop and look at the views on the way up, however it was a rather hazy day so the views were somewhat limited. This particular hike definitely got the heart rate up (coming from someone who... More

This park is about a 40 minutes from Los Angeles, and it's not hard to find. You can choose from among about 5-6 trails that range from 1 mile to nearly 10. No matter what you choose, you get to hike up and down valleys and canyons, while watching canyons across the way. The trails are well-maintained and moderately steep,... More
