Beautiful place to take a morning hike. Have to come here to watch the sunrise. It’s breathtaking watching the sun rise and shine on the city.

Why if the park is open is the parking lot closed? Is LA that hard up for impound and parking fines? Makes no sense. If you want to restrict the amount of people block off X number of spots etc. keep people safe and keep the lot open so people can enjoy themselves while staying healthy and exercising.

Favorite view in town, pandemic sucks but the park is beautiful. Sorry I don’t have photos for y’all but they don’t do it justice. The fresh air, the view, the vibe, I like to look for the Beverly center mall and then try to specially orient myself and find my apartment or favorite other spots around town. Definitely one of LAs best spots

The hike here is actually pretty cool with nice view of the city life. I wanted to do this just to say I did it. But unless I visit here on the weekday, I doubt I be back because Griffith Park is much closer to where I live and has a lot more trails without the crowd. The parking here is also crazy on the weekend with no restroom so plan accordingly if you drink too much coffee:)

Were 0 for 2 trying to get into Runyon Canyon via the North Entrance. Id give it 1 star, but the parking lot attendants were helpful (warning us about the limited parking across the street that could get us a ticket).

Has some of the greatest, clearest views of LA. 360 degrees. Can spy the Hollywood sign, DTLA, Griffith Observatory, randomly dispersed LA buildings a couple of squints to the right of DTLA & pretty much everywhere. Hike was a little too dry with all the dirt paths. Trail wasnt too hard or easy (there was a strip of downhill with all rocks so that took awhile).

This place was truly amazing and the views are breathtaking!!! The trails were kept up very good and the trash cans were emptied and not overflowing. The park rangers we very nice and helpful

A little scary for me. I like some adventure but there was a sign that said beware of rattle snakes and I went a night so I was shaking in my boots a little. But otherwise great views for the adventurous and cool pathways.

Good way to enter the park instead of the south entrance. Parking can be a bit sparse, but you can usually find something

Great place for a hike or trail run. West trail is taller and steeper than the East Trial. You can see the Hollywood sign from the top of the West Trial, but get a better view from the East trail. For the best view of the Hollywood sign go to Lake Hollywood Park. There is plenty of free parking at least during the week. Dont stop in the local neighborhood streets the locals get really upset and you could possibly get a ticket.

This was breathtaking awesome view.I will definitely be going again.

The unpaved road is currently closed. Face mask is a must. Dog friendly and must have a leash handy.

Trademark hike of LA. A must do as a tourist or local. About as good as it gets for an urban hike.

Paved trail for good workout, loop trail, lots of ridges to explore.

This isn’t the full track!!!Beware... you should start at the bottom and work your way up!The north entrance isn’t really much of a cardio track it’s more of a stroll!I suggest finding another starting point and making your way up the track!It’s great fun and it’s an awesome view of LA!

Nice views of LA. Crowded and limited parking unfortunately. Good hiking trails including a paved road that descends down to street level. The dirt trails can be challenging as you descend further south.

Syperbe place !!! before arriving at the very top, you have to make a trake that lasts about 20 minutes. Once the trake is over you will have a point of view that you will not find anywhere else !!!! nevertheless I advise you to take a bottle of water if you want to continue the trake on the valley. moreover when trake you can photograph the villas of stars who are on the valley.

Every time weve been there, the parking lot is full and there is very limited street parking. Either get there early or try the south entrance.

Parking lot is closed so good luck with finding a park. Also they tow up there so dont take a chance

Beautiful views. Great walk

A great place to hike...it has different trails that you can choose , ranging from a mile to 3 and a half miles long

Little hard to get here but good hike

Great! But be careful when parking.

Runyan Canyon is probably the best hiking trail in LA. Theyve made several improvements over the years including adding an AED at the top of the most strenuous trail. Its great for dog walking as well! Love it!

Enjoyed brunch here while visiting LA..

Love Runyon; unfortunately, I witnessed a car being towed away from the parking lot because it was vandalized. Its a reminder that, even though were out in nature, we still live in a heavily populated city.

Great hiking trails and stunning views. Aust see / do type of attraction. Take water with you and keep track of the many routes / trails so that you dont get lost!

Very fun place for son and dad hike

Not a hard trail with beautiful city views.

This was a really nice hike! We took the easier direction which was to go up the steep non paved part going down and come back up on the paved street. There were lots of dogs which was cool, but so many owners who didnt pick up the poop. There werent many trash cans for poop bags anyway which I guess would be a pain for someone to have to empty, but it seems to discourage people from picking up after their dog.

You can see full view of la.

I come to La a lot and this is a place that I have to go each time. Make sure you bring a light bag you can throw on your back. You’ll need water and a face towel. Prepare to workout! Definitely worth it.

Great place for short or long hikes on graded goomed gravel or hard packed dirt wide trails. Fairly exposed so bring the sun block, fantastic views of the entire city and surrounding mountains including some great views of the Hollywood sign and Grifith Observatory. Parking can be hard to find if youre up on top of Mulholland dr.

Beautiful views of most of Los Angeles and a great paved hiking path. You can also meet celebrities along the way, like Mordechai Ben David, Avraham Fried, Esther Freeman, that guy from the Hebrew Hammer, Adam Sandler, Kevin Hart and The Rock. Those are examples of celebrities, I didnt see any of them while I was walking down but thats because I was looking at my phone. People, stop looking at your phone while youre on a beautiful hike in nature. Anyway, where were we... Oh yeah so definitely check it out, its a great path.

Excellent place to walk and enjoy the life

I thought parking was going to be terrible but it went pretty fast ppl are in and out there... The trail was good not too difficult but enough to get the heart going if your climbing up

We begun our hike from the north entrance and walked to the top at a steady pace. It probably took us no more than 25 minutes in all. Very easy hike with a spectacular view as a reward.

Great views. A nice way to see the city

My favorite hike because i feel like Im in the true, hidden neighborhood of the stars! Since I was there last, there is now a small parking lot. Not a bad wait at 11:15am on a weekday. I imagine it gets pretty brutal though. Once on the trail, lots of options but not all well marked -I was afraid we would not find our way back to car so quickly -we were on a tight timeframe. Would like to spend a day exploring. Bring BIG water bottle and go to the bathroom before arriving.

Very nice views... but the top is EXTREMELY HOT! SO please prepare yourself (have water, towel, etc) especially if youre not used to that type of workout or health! But overall nice time... Im just not so adventurous! Lol

This is one of my favorite places in LA, both for the workout and the view. Parking is pretty difficult on the weekend, but easy on weekdays and non-peak hours.

Its popular especially on the weekends, they have a small parking lot and some street parking, its well worth it!

Amazing place to caming to your family

You have to just make sure you Park within the parking signs to park

Superb view. Parking is less though.

Love the trails!

Where to start besides the opportunity to meet and network over a hike or walk, the atmosphere is freeing and patrolled just in case the hike is still just a goal. Perfect to just take your time.

Love Runyon! Always have, always will!

Amazing place to do walking and hacking

Be ready to see the beautiful scenery and sweat

Awesome safe place to come explore

Good place for a hike , not so busy on a Monday.

Me and my love went for a hike here .. he hates hiking lol but it was beautiful

Great hike climb.

Great place

Absolutely beautiful day to go riding up there!

Well maintained trails and low difficulty for a enjoyable workout. Great views all around the park!

Good option for trekking and sight seeing in LA.

Best place to park for Runyon Canyon. Enter through the gate and take the fire road for a mild hike, or hang a right and take the more strenuous West Trail.

Is always a great hike, if you have a dog is even better, more fun!

I loved this place. This is a place to visit and yo relax.

Amazon trail to bring the family and dogs too. Realized just how out of shape Ive become when my dogs can go for 3 days

Runyon Canyon itself is great. Since this review is specifically for the north entrance that is horrible. Never dealt with a worse parking situation than this.

I really enjoyed visiting the park. Beautiful park and scenery.There are no restrooms tho.

Dont want the hike? Do want the views? This is the place to be

Beautiful view

Great hiking canyon with fantastic views of Los Angeles. If you start from the top it is mostly level not strenuous. If you want something more challenging then start at the bottom. The main problem is parking: lot at the top only holds couple dozen cars & parking on Muholland is rather hazardous.

Love the view a piece relaxing place wonderful to go out on date in the night

1 of my favorite hiking spots. PEACE

Great place to go relax at

DONT park your car in this entrance my car got broken into

Lovely

Absolutely loved the hike. Gorgeous views and very challenging to get to the top.

Scenic views

Busy trail day and night

Bring water take brakes make sure its more than two people or more

Great for working out

Its a must-visit for LA tourists.

Better for parking in my opinion. Fuller entrance is in busy Hollywood and this one is closer to the valley, east and downtown LA.

Well maintained trail for jogging and trail hiking. Dogs permitted, poo bags provided at regular intervals.

Totally awesome. Watch out for rattlesnakes tho!!

Finally found parking but thats only because it wasnt the weekend and it as super early on the morning

The renovations are good; I like the new stairs.

The park is great. Good views of the city. But the parking here is difficult. Too few spaces for all the people that wanted to park. Took quite a while to get a spot here. Maybe the other entrances have better parking.

Beautiful views

Its a nice hike and its not too crowded.

Hiking here was one of the highlights of my trip to California. Trails are clear and climbs are a it steep in some places. The views are totally worth it!

This place was truly amazing and the views are incredible.

Not alot of parking. And from what Ive been told cars are often towed away.

Perfect LA view after just 5 min hiking.

All of the views with none of the struggle! Good luck with parking but worth the views and fun just seeing the cool hom s up in the hills. We got there on a clear day in January and could see the city and the coast. People were friendly, we only had to park a half mile down the hill and the views were the best I’ve ever had in LA. A great spot to visit to acquaint yourself with the geography of the metropolis.

Beautiful hike

Excellent run as usual view of the citys great

This place was absolutely beautiful AND clean! Parking was troublesome to find but as people leave, it gives you the chance to park. The only thing that i wish could be installed is a bathroom. Other than that, great place to exercise!

Nice place to visit and get away from the city.

I enjoy coming to Runyon since its close to home and also a good quick hike. I usually do about 3 miles and I start at the top then make my way back up. I tend to go at 6am so its mostly empty with a few regulars. Now thats winter its still a bit dark when I get there but its awesome to see the sunrise and start your day early by being active. I didnt notice a big change since their last renovation the past summer 2016. But its good they maintain it since a lot of ppl do go. Its definitely one of the popular hikes in LA plus people say they spot celebrities. I did spot one guy who used to be on mad TV.

Amazing! Must go!

Nice place to hike

Lots of people but great views and excellent workout!

The hike, the views, the dogs, the people, ahhhh
