We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Wildwood Canyon Hilltop yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Wildwood Canyon Hilltop
Great view of the valley, plus a bonus view of DTLA. This is a great hike because it varies in difficulty depending on how far up you park. One of my faves.
I actualy tried to go mountain biking here but the gate was locked even though thier site said it was open. It was a super nice day and I drove all the way out to Burbank for it so I was kinda annoyed because I could of just gone somewhere else... but then I found a trail around the side and holy cow it was worth it.
This was def a tough hike! Bring good shoes, water, and sunblock. Def need a strong will to get all the way to the chair!
