Laurel Canyon Trail from Willow Staging Area, Laguna Beach, 6 Mi, apprx 700-800 feet of elevation gain, 8:30 AM
Sorry, no dogs.
Park at Willow Staging Area, off Laguna Canyon Road, $3 parking fee. I always get a parking spot, however it can fill up, so get there 5 or 10 minutes early if you can.
A beautiful local hike!
This has become a favorite because of the lush Sycamore and Willow trees throughout the hike.
Emoji Rock can be seen from two points and is also a favorite part among other interesting rock formations. Many options on this trail, I’ve yet to trek right up to Emoji Rock, which can be added at the end of the hike.
