    Following the Canyon access road down from the end of Mulholland Drive makes for easy access from the top for anyone who can't do a strenuous hike; paved all the way.

    I like going the counter-clockwise direction from Fuller. After summitting I prefer the long consistent descent. The views from the mansion at top are also best from this direction, IMO.

    This is an intense workout! I love it ... once I get to the top. Better get there before 9 am, it get crowded!

    Congratulations! You made it to the top. Now reward yourself & reenergize with some good protein at the Chipotle down the street at Sunset & Spaulding.

    Great views and a great workout; do it at your own pace. I recommend taking water & a scarf or napkin to cover your nose & mouth when dust whirlwinds hit you.

    Wear closed-toe shoes for the dirt and rocky paths. Beautiful views of the city without hiking too much. Must visit.

    Summer is really hot but winter in LA is the perfect time to go. Quick workout for those who work nearby!
