Loved the experience, there are many trail options according to your hiking abilities. Be wise which path you take. One of them is a tough one. Proper shoes are a must. Great view of the city.

Gorgeous view, pretty steep so you can have your heart pumping at a higher rate.

Beautiful views from top of the trail. You will love it.

Awesome trail however the last part get super steep, you need good pair of trail shoes.

Good short trail (approx. 2 km loop). Amazing views especially when its green. There are steep portions but doable for most.

Awesome!! Very good hiking trailes

Great hike, it can be steep at a few parts but overall a wonderful hike. Youll be able to see an amazing view of Los Angeles, Glendale and so much more. There are several break spots along the hike and at the bottom is a nice park, grilling area and library.

Hidden gem of a hike behind the suburbs of glendale! free parking near the library. i saw two trailheads, my friend and i took the seven trees one. it is quite steep so beware. wear proper shoes, bring sunscreen, and water for sure! the path is dirt/gravel so can be slippery at times. the views of glendale/burbank are pretty neat! unfortunately, it was quite smoggy today. there are many forks in the road, with not too much signage. my friend and i ended up going higher up the mountain and traversed along the verdugo motorway and the brand motorway, until finally making it back to the parking lot (7 miles). more signs/maps would be helpful... we were scared we got lost a few times! there were not too many people on the trail, which was nice. also water fountains/restrooms would be great additions to the trails!

Personally, after hiking the Henry Cook Lookout Point, I wasn’t too impressed by this Brand trail. Don’t get me wrong- it’s a good trail that has a great view- but the big payoff view takes too long to get to. I was looking for a shorter trail that gave me the exact same thing that this trail did. Would recommend for more avid hikers with a lot of time on your hands.

It is relatively short, but hard enough if you take the left path on the way top. I recommend that you take the left way at the initial point, and take the right path - from the top its the left one - on the way down. Not that impressive, but still wonderful scenic view of downtown LA, Burbank, and Glendale at the same time from the top.

It is very inclined/steep so make sure you wear the correct shoes. Its very beautiful once you get to the top.

It’s like paradise right in the city. Awesome place to hike. Couple routes easy and hard depends on your skills and goals. Great place. For kids and families too obviously with adults supervision. Don’t forget the water. Wonderful nature.

Good hike but a little steep on the uphill side (going counter clockwise). Not sure it would have been any better as a downhill though.

Love the trail

Best views of Burbank and a great place to walk your dog.

Moderate trail and nice park

Hiking couldnt be any closer if you live in Glendale and the surrounding area. What a workout hiking to the top of the Verdugos and the best part? Its free!Cheers

An Honest Hiking Review:To be quite frank, this was quite a disappointing trail. While it markets itself as family friendly, this is clearly a trail for more avid hikers that takes much time to get to. We rate this trail hard, and we’re quite disappointed.

The turtles were beautiful

I like this place is the best to hiking...

Very nice place to hike-walk. Great views of the city. Just watch out for bikes coming down very fast.

This is one of my favourites. it really tests your endurance. it you want to get the most out of it i recommend taking a back pack with a little bit of waight on it. 5lbs or 10. what ever you feel comfortable with. truat me you can only get better. good luck and have fun

Excellent simi-rugged trail and conditions.
