If you happen to find yourself with a free day or even just an afternoon and are wanting to get outside, here are 10 local LA day hikes that will give you your outdoor fix. These trails offer an array of ocean views, waterfalls, and lush canyons. If you have not had the chance yet to explore nature in LA, you will be shocked upon your first visit to one of these trails.
