Sullivan Canyon Trail Description

Looking to leave the concrete jungle behind? Then the Sullivan Canyon Trail is the perfect adventure to get out of the city and experience the beauty of nature.

Setting out from the starting point on Queensferry Road, you will make your way to the northwest through Sullivan Canyon, keeping right at a junction onto the fire road. Here, you will begin hiking north through the peaceful wooded landscape of the canyon.

After working your way through the entirety of the canyon, the trail will begin climbing uphill for sweeping views of the Los Angeles area. From here, simply turn back along the trail and retrace your steps to the starting point.
