𝗙𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗹 is an absolutely beautiful, quiet and serene trail located on a shady canyon hillside. 🥾

Enjoy the sound of the waterfall from a stream while birds chirp. The trail is 0.33 miles in total, with several areas of incline. 🏔 Don’t quit early, though!

The ocean view at the top is worth the climb. The trail entrance is a bit hidden, however it can be found on the corner of Corsini and Palos Verdes Drive East OR may be accessed from Via Colinita after completing the Siena Loop Trail.

Wisdom Tree Trail

In a city full of iconic hikes, the “Wisdom Tree” trail is one of those hidden gems that truly captures the spirit of L.A.

Located on Burbank Peak in the Hollywood Hills, just west of the Hollywood Sign, this short but steep hike offers panoramic views of both the San Fernando Valley and downtown Los Angeles. 🏔️

The summit is known for three things:
▪️ the lone pine tree 🌳
▪️ the notebook where hikers leave personal notes 📝
▪️ the giant American flag 🇺🇸

The Wisdom Tree became a symbol of resilience after reportedly surviving the 2007 Barham wildfire while much of the surrounding area burned.

Today, people leave prayers, dreams, and reflections beneath it. 📖

A few tips:
▪️ Go early morning or around sunset to avoid the heat.
▪️ Wear good shoes.
▪️ Parking can be tricky, so arrive early.
▪️ Bring water…there are no fountains on the trail.
