Strawberry Peak Trail Description
Although the Strawberry Peak Trail features some rugged terrain with a fair amount of elevation gain, it is a very popular hiking route in Los Angeles County and is certainly worth the trip if you find yourself in the area.
From the Red Box Picnic Area, you will make your way across the road and pick up the trail, following it uphill to the northeast. Traversing the lower slopes of Mount Lawlor, the trail will bend to the northwest towards Strawberry Peak.
Here, you will continue to steadily gain elevation, as you traverse the mountainous landscape in order to reach the summit of Strawberry Peak, where you will be met by sweeping views across Southern California. After taking in the views, carefully head back downhill along the same route to return to the trailhead.
