Party Earth Review: Named after a Depression-era coal tycoon who used the property for hunting and riding, Runyon Canyon is a popular Hollywood hiking spot and something of a pick-up scene for fit and attractive locals and dog lovers. As the paved lane of the strenuous 1.6-mile main trail gives way to dirt and dust higher up, hikers will be met not only by palm-tree-framed views of the Hollywood sign, sprawling hillside mansions, and even the ocean, but also by the hordes of stylish starlets, models, and actors who share the trail with them. Savvy singles know to show up with their pooches as a laxed leash law allows the pups to play and gives their owners the best chance of mingling with other good-looking dog walkers. There are two separate routes to the top, but those who take the easier trail will still get a great workout, where an oversized bench offers a place to rest up and enjoy the panorama. Whether visitors are more interested in toning their own physiques or checking out those of other nature lovers, Runyon Canyon is a great place for fun in the sun with a little flirting on the side.

Runyon Canyon Review

Tip from Lucas:

“If you’re looking for a slightly more strenuous hike with even better vistas, choose the path at the top of the canyon that leads up to Indian Rock – the highest point in the park with a view that includes the San Fernando Valley.”
