Stair Master!

Sunset from Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook

hiking-trails-at-the-scenic-overlook-image-jpeg

In Culver City, take Jefferson Blvd. to Hetzler Rd. Park along Jefferson Blvd. before or after Hetzler Rd., and find the dirt trail heading east from the bottom of Hetzler. Hike a short distance to reach the bottom of the stairs. If you plan to hike the trail instead of the taking the stairs, take the first short flight of steps and then bear right to continue up the dirt trail, crossing the stairs three more times on the way up the hill. At the top, make two right turns to reach the overlook. You can also get to the top by driving up Hetzler Rd. to a paid ($6) parking area near the visitor center and the overlook. No dogs.
