Ever wonder what there is to do in LA that doesn't cost money and is time consuming in a very good way? If you guessed hiking then go ahead and give yourself a pat on the back. For all of its faults, LA is actually blessed with numerous awesome hiking trails that will not only help with your fitness but give you some really spectacular views and scenery. Over at Gridskipper, they have put together quite a nice list of the cant-miss spots and check out some of them below.

Malibu Creek
Malibu Canyon Road Malibu, CA
"If you want dramatic mountain views, this is the place to find them. You can follow Malibu Creek to the ocean for an easier hike, or you can take on Udell Gorge or the Goat Buttes if you're in the mood for a challenge. The 5-mile hike along Crags Road will redeem even the most debauched weekend."
Runyon Canyon
Runyon Canyon Road Los Angeles, CA
"This 130-acre park is great for spotting celebrities, so Runyon Canyon was the planned site of the failed Outpost development, and if you hike up the east side of the park you can see pieces of the old Outpost sign (a red neon monstrosity that makes the Hollywood sign look tasteful) lying forgotten in the chaparral. On a clear day you can see all the way to the ocean."
Griffith Park
4730 Crystal Springs Rd Los Angeles, CA 90027
"Easily accessible from Los Feliz Boulevard, Griffith Park is one of the biggest city parks in the country. From some of the parks' peaks you can see downtown, Hollywood, and the valley all at the same time. The park is also home to Griffith Observatory, known for being not nearly as interesting as you think it's going to be the first time you go."
