Hiking through the valley’s beautiful landscape and surroundings is always a pleasant adventure. But not knowing where some of the best hikes in the area are can be a major setback. Luckily, here is a guide to the best hiking in the area.

Paramount Ranch, located in Agoura Hills, is a four-mile hike that explores the Western Town. This location is a national park attraction that offers hikers an exploration through outdoor sets that have been used for frontier towns in many Hollywood Western films, such as “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,” “The Adventures of Marco Polo” and “Miracle of Morgan’s Creek.” The trail is open to hikers, dogs and bikers.

Looking for a trail located in Malibu? Solstice Canyon is located within the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation. This trail visits the ruins of an old historic ranch that was demolished by a fire, and then eventually leads to a refreshing waterfall running north-to-south about a mile east of Point Dume. The intensity is fairly easy since the grounds are level. The distance is 2.6 miles and is open to hikers and dogs.

Bronson Cave is only 0.65 miles and is located in Los Angeles. The trail is moderately easy and quick. This hike explores what is known as the Batcave from the Batman TV series and hundreds of other locations from TV and film. To get to the Batcave, at the top of Canyon Drive in Griffith Park, take the fire road on the right heading southeast out of the canyon.

Located on Las Virgenes Road in Calabasas is Malibu Creek State Park. This trail can be a quick and easy hike that leads to a rock pool where people can take a nice swim or even cliff dive as long as the pools are at a safe swimming and diving level. Make sure to wear proper hiking gear and bring a bathing suit!

Hiking is always a good source of daily exercise and also a breath of fresh air. Try to take some time out of the week and check out these fantastic hikes near Calabasas.
