Runyon Canyon Park – Hollywood, CA
It’s definitely a stretch to call this park a canyon. But if you’re taking a break in between handing out maps to the stars homes or shooting a commercial then it would make sense to throw on your Ed Hardy wicking t-shirt and $600 Michelle Obama tennies and do a lap around Runyon.
I kid…kinda.
This 160-acre parcel of land is a nice little haven in the middle of all that life that is LA. These aren’t our stomping grounds, but we were visiting an old friend, and he lives a couple blocks from there, so it was way convenient. I wouldn’t go back, but that’s just me. It’s a hefty drive to get there and not much to see (one of the goals of our hikes). But I live in Orange County. If I lived nearby this park I’d go running there, but that’s it.
