Transit-accessible hiking areas near Los Angeles

You'd think it might be simple to get transit directions to trails, but some websites (hello, Google) won't give directions when the trailhead is too far from a transit line, and even when they do they often aren't detailed enough to get you from the bus to the trail without head-scratching and map-squinting.  The directions given here are pre-squinted to help you get out the door and onto the dirt as easily as possible.  I hope this inspires you to explore some of the excellent LA-area day-hiking easily reachable by transit.  If you know of a bus-friendly trail that should be included here, please let me know by the comments below or email, so I can check it out!

​

See you on the trails!
