User Reviews for Will Rogers State Historic Park Hike

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Will Rogers is a great place to start and end a day hike. My favorite hike here takes you up the ridge for great views and back down the eastern canyon through an overgrown street that is now part of the park. Hike up the hill past Inspiration Point continuing up past a bridge. After crossing the bridge, take the next trail down to the right. You will find some erie sights down here as you walk past old foundations and frames of houses long gone. After completing your hike, the polo grounds offer a great place to relax and enjoy the afternoon.

My favorite place to hike in Southern California. This spot is accessible enough from anywhere in L.A. to be a morning, afternoon or all-day activity, depending on your schedule. The trails are reasonable enough for occasional hikers, with enough variety to keep more experienced trail folks and bikers happy. And the views--you'll see from downtown L.A. to Malibu to Palos Verdes and beyond. Simply gorgeous.

Pros: Incredible views

Cons: Parking

Insider Tips

The Extras

Turn off Sunset Boulevard onto Will Rogers State Park Road. Most popular is Inspiration Point Loop, a two-mile trek that boasts an eye-catching view of the L.A. basin on clear days. Numerous options exist for the experienced hiker, such as Backbone Trail, that lead deeper into the Santa Monica Mountains. Venture out carefully and be sure to carry enough water.
