One of my favorite trails to get a good workout! Steady incline all the way to the top of Inspiration Point . It gets chilly up there so bring a light jacket/sweater. Bring plenty of water !

Yell into the Echo Horn!!! Great for sunsets & sunrises. Inspiration Point is great if you can make it before the sun goes down! It's 2 miles past Echo Mountain . Bring plenty to hydrate & snacks !

A fairly easy 3-mile uphill hike , with gorgeous sweeping views of the city . Check out the remnants of the old town & factory up top. Pro tip: watch the sunset on your way down.

Connie Chiu

Great hiking experience for the workout and views . The top is a good spot to breathe in crisp air!

Some estimate 2 hours to the top but it only took us 1 hour 15 minutes. Great place to picnic before heading to Inspiration Point .

"Death Trail " is maybe a bit dramatic. It's a very easy picnic day hike . "Death" maybe if you hike barefoot, mid-day during summer, but that's more "stupid" than "death."

Reserve an extra 2 hours to go all the way up to Inspiration Point . You won't regret it plus you are already half way there! Read more

Great hike but disappointed to see gang tags spray painted at the top.

The big trail away from Inspiration Point above Echo Mountain goes all the way to the trails above JPL in La Cañada Flintridge. Great trail for hardcore mountain bikers on day trips! - Joseph C
