The shady hike down Sullivan Canyon parallels a seasonal creek. Alive with the singing of birds, this hike sounds and feels like an aviary housed within huge stands of sycamore, oak, and willow trees. We’ll be hiking on both the Sullivan side and the Mandeville Canyon side of the ridge dividing the two canyons creating a loop.
The hike will include a short but steep ascent and an equally steep descent on Mandeville Ridge — trekking poles are recommended. I don’t expect any bushwhacking.
Hike is 7 miles and rated MEDIUM+ due to terrain. See the HWD Hike Rating Guide
Directions
From Sunset Boulevard, 2.3 miles west of the 405, turn north onto Mandeville Canyon Road. After a third of a mile, turn left onto Westridge Road. Drive up Westridge Road for 1.2 miles and turn left on Bayliss Road. Drive two blocks and make another left on Queensferry Road and find a place to legally park.
There is not much parking on Queensferry so be prepared to park on Bayliss
We’ll meet at the big green gate at end of Queensferry Rd
