- Marlow the Master Baiter★★★★★
This place is a nice place to hike a steep and scenic climb right close to the city. The trail can get crowded on weekends, but there are multiple trailheads here to spread the crowds out. The main thing here is the Vital Link Trail, which is steep but a switchbacky easy workout.

Beautiful trails, plenty of places to park and have a picnic with family. Definitely a must visit for hikers and/or outdoorsmen. There is a public bathroom and portable bathrooms. Bring water!

Underrated hiking gem by the Glendale area away from noise pollution. If taking the Vital Link trail, prepare for calves and heart conditioning for the next 10-90 minutes. Great views of the Los Angeles valley.

The trail is real steep and strenuous, at least for me, and unforgiving. It's a straight shot to the top, but well worth it when you get there. The way down isn't much easier, I highly recommend bringing a walking stick (or finding one!) for the way down. I imagine there's multiple ways down the mountain but I came down the same way I went up. And it's a little treacherous and hard on the knees. But the views that you are treated to are breathtaking and there's even a nice little seat for you to rest at near the top! Not for the faint of heart but worth the effort!
