Runyon Canyon is the setting here, a park in the hills above the city where the terrain mixes trail and open ridge with views that stretch across Los Angeles. The route works for runners, walkers, and hikers alike. It is hilly enough to earn the scenery, not a flat road loop, and the morning light up there tends to make the effort feel worth it.
