I've been hearing good things about the Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook, part of Hahn State Recreation Area. In addition to the view, it has hiking trails in a restored native habitat, a visitors center, and parking. The 50-acre park is open from 8 am to sunset with 360-degree views of the Los Angeles Basin from the mountains to the ocean. But the deal-maker for me is proposed full moon hikes. Nothing like roaming around under the moon with the big city lights in the distance promising all kinds of excitement and adventure.
