Hiking areas in the Hollywood Hills and Santa Monica Mountains each have their own distinct personality. Griffith Park has a scrubby, Wild West feel. Will Rogers is defined by its ascent through a dramatic, vegetated canyon. And Runyon Canyon feels like a big Hollywood exercise party -- dogs invited.

Unlike Runyon which is packed with people looking for a work-out, Franklin Canyon offers a more mellow, "back to nature" space for hiking. It's great for families because you can picnic, stroll around the lake and watch the ducks in the pond without having to break much of a sweat - but if you do want to get some exercise, you can take it a little vertical and see some great views. Fairly easy parking once you're inside the park. Dogs appear to be welcome.
A great place to relax in the middle of the city.
