Attorneys-Only Hike

About the hike:

In the 1950s, San Vicente Mountain served as a mountaintop military installation to defend Los Angeles from soviet missile attacks. Today, the 1,960-foot peak provides visitors with a look back at this chapter in the city’s history, along with a great view of West LA and the Santa Monica Mountains. Westridge Fire Road leads to San Vicente Mountain and is a popular path for mountain bikers, trail runners, and dog walkers (dogs are permitted off-leash in Westridge-Canyonback Wilderness Park under their owner’s supervision). The hike is about 7 miles and provides 730 feet of elevation gain.

After enjoying San Vicente Mountain, we will return the way we came to complete this 7.4-mile hike with 730 feet of elevation gain. Friends and Dogs are welcome. No fee or permit is required, so get out and enjoy!
