Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook

Aim to visit this trail on a clear day when you can see downtown L.A., the Pacific Ocean, and the San Gabriel Mountains. To get the most out of your visit, try arriving before sunset. The hiking trail is suitable for most people but is mildly strenuous. Although it's great for a date with your honey, your canine friend is not allowed. The best way to get here is to take the Venice Blvd. exit off the I-10. In a city known for its high-priced living, this panoramic viewpoint is one of the best values to be found.
