When living in Los Angeles, it's easy to feel like you have to travel out of the city to get in touch with nature, besides the planned green spaces of parks and the like, there couldn't possibly be anywhere that offered any sort of outdoor recreation, right? Wrong! Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook is right in the middle of Culver City and it offers anyone a steep ascent to a great overlook of the city of Los Angeles. The hike can be done following the trail of switchbacks up to the top or, you can pick the ambitious set of the stairs leading straight to the top. Whichever path you chose, the view is definitely worth it. You can spend a few minutes relaxing at the top and head back down or continue on some of the shorter trails the lead off over the hills. This is a popular hike for locals and is filled with encouraging people to help you on your way to the top. There is parking available at the bottom of the hill, both metered and unmetered, but you may have to wait for a bit for a spot to open up. Enjoy you trip out of the city (without even leaving)!
