    1798 Michael Ln 1798 Michael Ln, Pacific Palisades, CA, US

    Another Palisades favorite. Our route begins on Trailer Canyon fire road providing broad views over Santa Ynez Canyon and the surrounding mountains.

    Fryman Canyon Back Door Laurel Terrace Dr and Viewcrest Road, Studio City, CA, US

    Beginning the hike at the U-Vanu Trail on Viewcrest Drive immediately gives the outing a quieter, more residential feel than the main Fryman Canyon entrances.
