Hiking in Los Angeles with Kids: The Best Hiking Trails for Families
Submitted by Martha Hall on
Some days are just better when everyone takes a hike. Long weekends, weekday afternoons, random days off from school—if the kids start to climb the walls, the answer is almost always to head for the trails and go hiking in Los Angeles. We've compiled a list of some of the best hiking trails in Los Angeles for you and your little ones (though if you're pushing someone up that mountain, you may want the stroller-friendly hikes in Los Angeles post). Each of the self-led hikes below is an LA classic hike that's not too hard and boasts spectacular views or fascinating finds for the whole family.
Explore all the best adventures and hikes in Los Angeles for kids like waterfall hikes in Los Angeles or LA hikes for young wildlife enthusiasts, both of which, and more are in our Hiking and Camping Guide for Los Angeles Families.
