Most hikers find this well travelled urban hike relatively easy. There’s a bit of an incline within the first 1/4 mile to start up the cardio system. It slows everyone down but the trail keep a good pace throughout.
Some hikers may find it helpful to use trekking poles for extra balance in some sections, while other hikers find it easy to walk or trail run the entire route.
About 1/2 mile into the hike we will be passing a vista of the Hollywood sign across the canyon on Mt. Lee. A great place to take some very cool photos
