It may take you all day to hike this 8-mile trail, but it is worth every step once you reach the summit of this Southern California mountain. At the top, you will be at the highest point in Los Angeles, standing 10,064-feet above sea level (although the hike itself only ascends up 4,000-feet). At the peak, you will have sweeping views over the Mojave Desert and even the Pacific Ocean. It can be quite windy and cold at the top, so make sure to pack extra layers just in case.
