Brand Library Hiking Trail reviews
7I take the steeper trail up using 45 pound weight vest plus backpack/ water. The hike is a good challenge for someone who wants to get in great shape! There is not shade so during the summer go early! Wear hiking boots and take water because I have helped people down this mountain who were not prepared. (Heat exhaustion)
You get a great cardio workout on the Seven Trees Trail. Steep and a bit slippery in places, good treads on boots definitely recommended. Both a loop trail and also extends beyond as a point to point.
The loop is short, but it also connects to a trail that goes into the Verdugo network of trails.
This trail makes a beautiful sunset hike. It's a peaceful overlook on the Burbank basin. At sunset you get to watch the lights pop on down below.
If you start early and plan to meet up with friends who start up top, you all can join on the trail and loop back to one car. Then stop out for a bite before collecting the other car.
The excellent Brand Library shares its parking lot with this trailhead.
What's with all the motocross bikes racing up and down these trails? I could've sworn that riding motorized vehicles (not electric bikes) in the Verdugo Mountains was illegal. Twice I've seen near collisions between hikers and these idiot bikers. Once a dog was missed by mere inches. Does anyone care that these clowns are destroying our trails?
The two mile hike up to the radio towers is probably one of the most challenging trails in the area. But well worth the effort once you are up there. You may run into a few cayotes here and there, but don't mind them, and they will go on their own way. Enjoy!
I’m a beginner hiker and I enjoyed this trail. Completed it with my pup in about an hour. Just wish I brought better traction shoes - it gets pretty steep at times. Great views. Not many other people on the trail either!
This trail is very beautiful, not hard, but you should have enough time) we spend there 2-3 hours.
Brand lateral trail loop. It is a short trail, 2.7 miles, but very steep for the 1st 1 mile when you do hiking counter-clock wise. You can park your car in the Brand Park. It’s free. The park is closed at 10pm. There is beautiful city view when you go up there. The trail is closed one hour after sunset. Will visit there for taking night view of LA. It’s a perfect place for it
