Whiting Woods Motorway Trail

You can start climbing at the end of Whiting Woods Road. It is steep and there are fewer mountain bikes at other hikes. The road starts out steep and you have to get used to it, but the lower mile is less steep than higher up. There are many cross country cutoffs, which can shorten the return trip or steepen the uphill. You can take a straight route to an electronic site with views of the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles Basin. If you want to take in the view, you can either turn around and go back the way you came or rest on a bench.
