Cloud's Rest overlook offers sweeping vistas across Runyon Canyon Park, a 130 acre park two blocks from Hollywood Boulevard, just west of the 101 Hollywood Freeway extending north to Mulholland Drive. There are entrances on Fuller Avenue, Vista Street, and off Mulholland.
Since 1983 when it was acquired by the City of Los Angeles with a grant from the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, it has been managed by the LA Department of Parks and Recreation as an 'Urban Wilderness.' It is a rare example of wild chaparral with its drought-resistant evergreen trees and shrubs only a stone's throw from the Hollywood community.
The park has a wide fire road running up from the Vista entrance, as well as more demanding trails taking the walker up to a number of magnificent viewpoints: Hollywood sign and Griffith Observatory to the east, and downtown. Celebrity sightings are frequent. The highest point is 1,320 ft Indian Rock. lamountains.com/parks.asp?parkid=122 , en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runyon_Canyon_Park

Interesting excursion, in summer by the heat took some getting used to. The view compensates ...

Worthwhile trip with great views over Los Angeles, especially recommended at sunset or at sunrise.
