I come here every weekend. Ive been here I. The summer and at various times of the day or night and I love it every time. I only hike the west end trail which is the more difficult path. Challenging and fun. It typically takes me and my girl friend and hour to complete. Parking can be challenging but worth it.
A bit of a strange and neglected area that I wouldn’t feel comfortable hiking by myself. However there are some pretty neat views and a decent trail to follow despite a very steep part I which I would not recommend for little ones. But as my friend said while we were there... it kind of feel a like it used to be one big communal backyard with all of the houses surrounding the area and abandoned artifacts.
Elyria Canyon is one of those places where I personally wouldnt have known existed without Google Maps because Im not too familiar with the Cypress Park area of L.A. Its a fine area to go hiking and just enjoy nature while strolling down a trail or two. Plus, I feel that due to its location, the park doesnt get much foot traffic aside from people who may live in the surrounding neighborhoods. Therefore, theres a bigger sense of peace and quiet here in comparison to the more well-known trails and parks in L.A.
Great place, not crowded. Just dont eat the Buffalo Squash.
Just another beautiful day in LA
The park Ranger and his wife were veeeeery unreasonably rude... strange thing to say about a State park. Besides those two this place is a hidden gem with low foot traffic. Parking is tough but the neighbors were kind.
Peaceful walking trail. Be careful of poison oak
If you aren’t killed you’ll love it!
Great place to go for a walk, enjoying nature.
Great urban hiking trail. A lot of protected trees. Watch out for poison ivy.
There are some spectacular views from up in the hills--but driving those VERY narrow streets is definitely a challenge.
Its okay when I went the buildings were beautiful but there was a snake
My new favorite place
A little scary and the trails could use further maintenance. Also the address should not be the one listed. The address should be where the clearing for parking is at. Awkward and misleading.
I love dennys
Small, hilly, dry
Good for a walk with your dog(s).
Not worth the trip if you have to drive there. I can see how this would be a good neighborhood hike, but its way too small to get a good hike in. I am not a very fast hiker and I did all the trails in under an hour. Not many other people there, which is nice.
Two reasons for the one star. First, the trail is filled with vacant snake holes who may or may not still be around. Second, the plants are overgrown, theres weeds, and a much of little critters jumping around in the bushes which freaked both my friend and I out because we couldnt see anything. This trail are for people who are level 5 trail walkers/runners. It is the complete opposite of Runyon. You will find no one walking this trail which adds to the suspense of walking and being snatched into the unknown. Not to mention the huge ravens circling around doesnt help.
My own experience there was a grateful one... bumps n hills up and down were hard and easy but it lead to one road... home.. grandma and grandpas house.. to a place of love and always being forever grateful.. yes amd lets not forget Hope where my life as Alfred L Salinas Rodriguez jr the 3rd Kardashian... ️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️
Is a scenic route
Fun to explore and great view
This place is an Oasis in the middle of a bustling city. Great hikes or runs can be had here.
Great place for a hike or jog. The view once you get to the too is amazing!
This place is good for hikes and to see animals.
Overgrown, limited parking, short distance. Debs Park is a much better alternative.
Random and small park in Mt. Washington. Themself realization temple is not too far away.
Good place for kids and dogs.
Great sunset views, watch out for the coyotes.
Natures small adventure. Trails slopes and mother nature
Close to home
Youre essentially walking through peoples backyards. A little weird
Rugged, overgrown, hilly, deserted. Perfect for trail running.
