Stough Canyon Nature Center on Postcard

"The Verdugo Mountains are full of critters who call it's low lying brush home and share their urban space with hikers and mountain bikers. Stough Canyon is one of many trail heads within the Verdugo's, with the Nature Center at the top of Walnut street serving as the educational gateway to the mountains and trails. Learn about the wildlife, flora and fauna at one of the nature centers exhibits, guided hikes and day camps. Or access the trails next to the nature center and pedal up the Stough Canyon grinder." - Jennifer Beatty

Cool little nature center at the beginning of several well maintained trails exploring Stough Canyon. Free parking and a short walk across a bridge bring you to the nature center. There are many informational displays where you can learn about the flora and fauna and the geological makeup of the area. The center is staffed with a California Parks person who can answer any questions and also has an activity / lecture room for class outings or events. Clean and well maintained and free. The trails are awesome and have great views of Burbank and the other side of the Hollywood Hills.

The incline is pretty serious right from the start but the path to the view point isn’t too far. It’s a nice workout with great views! There’s a few trails you can take, none are too long.

This location is an amazing hike that offers plenty of distance for cardio and breathtaking views if you're able to get to one of the many viewpoints, but I can't stress this enough if you're hiking here at night bring a flashlight! There's too many people I've noticed that are on the trail at dark and unable to see what they definitely don't want to step on (see pics).

The hiking trail is intense. The mountain is steep. The views are beautiful. Worth the hike. The ambiance here is amazing. The silence and scenery is therapeutic. The diverse flowers are eye catching. The mountain is quite cold when the sun begins to set. I enjoyed myself here.

If you are up for an adventure that is close by I highly recommend you hike this trail. Overall it’s an easy hike given you are waking on an access road to the radio towers at the top of the mountains. But you will climb a good bit in elevation. So be ready to sweat! Rewarding views at the top, and the best part is.. there are not many people on this trail. It was extremely relaxing and parking was super easy too. I feel like this place is a secret even though I know it’s not. It’s just an extremely relaxing and enjoyable hike.

Wow. One of the greatest views we have ever seen from the top of the mountains ⛰️. You can see Los Angeles, Burbank, North Hollywood and couple other cities. Plenty of free parking, restrooms and its only half a mile from the parking area. 😁 we ran into Vanessa Born from Bring It On Fight To The Finish, High School Musical 2, A Haunted House 2 and much more. Not a bad hike for kids and dogs.

It’s really good and fun trail with limited parking spot and restroom for men and women. There’s office plus activities which is now closed because of COVID-19. It used to be a river going down but now it’s dry and better to have enough water with you if you try to go up the mountain. There is a lot of signs to inform you when you park your car in parking lot it’s better to don’t have valuables stuff inside your car and the sign said hide them so it’s not obvious for others.

It was a nice hike but I guess since it's my first time I took the wrong turn, didn't make it to the top but for sure I'll be coming back, great views of the whole city, Loved It
