Nice place to go mountain biking. Nice views. Not overly hard core. Nice for getting into shape. Close by, no parking issues.
One of my favorite hikes in Glendale. Nice steady incline the whole way, good workout. On clear days the views are beautiful! Great wide, well maintained fire road path up to the radio tower. Residential street parking, so you may have to park quite a bit from the trail head, look for the job parking signs
This is where youll find peace while you will be in ahh of the surroundings. Dear visitors please respect the environment and while enjoying your hike dont trash the nature with plastics, face masks (nowadays ), dog poop bags, and plastic cups and etc.. carry those and dump them in the nearest trash can. Thank you
Thought it was an awesome hike, great for stimulating your muscles, your respiratory system, your imagination and reminded me of just how beautiful nature is.
Challenging hike i enjoyed it
Amazing views from the top of the Verdugos - see DTLA and Glendale, the San Fernando Valley, and up into La Cañada. Be warned, the firebreak trail up from the Brand Library is wide and solid but very steep in places. I felt like I was on a ski slope in the summer. Here are some pics from near the top when you first hit the ridge.
Every time we come it kills me
Tough hike but so worth it.
Love the challenge, the intensity, and the views are amazing from Tujunga, La Crescenta Glendale down to Downtown LA and Sun Valley Burbank Airport beautiful!
An Official Hiking Review:This is definitely a hike that is a must do for anyone in the nearby area- provides you with a lot of fun with an amazing climb! The trail is about one mile long and you climb approximately 900 feet. Would highly recommend! We rate this trail hard difficulty.
The tower is farther than it looks.
The best place for hiking
Nice hike.
Beautiful views.
Good solid hike. Roughly a mile of constant climb. Roughly 1,000 ft vertical in that distance. At least, thats what my phone said. Clean trails, friendly people. Parking lot gets full around 10 on weekends.
Great view and awesome hike
Absolutely gorgeous views if you dont mind getting a calf and ham workout in!
Very steep not for the faint of heart but a great view, rough going down
I hike up in the Verdugo mountains all the time. Great trails, wonderful views of the SF valley and downtown LA. The trails are easily accessible from Brand library. 1600 + elevation climb to the ridge top. Be careful to wear the appropriate footwear it can be very difficult descending - lots of loose sandy ground. I’ve seen many people scared coming down because you can fall very easily if you’re not careful. Hikers beware!
I hike here every other week. Love the steepness
Very challenging hiking spot
