2000 N. Fuller Ave., Hollywood
If you want a quiet hike where you can be alone with your thoughts, avoid Runyon on weekends. But if you’re looking to people- or dog-watch, this easy-to-moderate walk will get your heart pumping. There are several trails to choose from two to three miles on average that are mostly pavement or dirt. The canyon offers great views on clear days and is dog-friendly with designated off-leash areas. Pro tip: Parking is at a premium on weekends, so arrive early and be sure to read the signs carefully. (You can always park on Hollywood Boulevard on weekends and start your Fitbit while walking up to the entrances on Fuller or Vista).
