As you may know I love to go exploring. That’s why I love to go hiking. “But Spencer, you live in a humongous metropolis…where can you go hiking?” you may wonder. Well, wonder no more.

The Santa Monica Mountains have a lot of trails for hiking in Los Angeles. They are just one of the many great places to have outdoor adventures in the city of angels. I like to hike at Wilacre Park because it’s very close to my house. I can scoot up there anytime I need to have a nature break. When you walk along the top of the trail you can see both sides of the city from a wooded area. The smells are wonderful up here, I especially like the eucalyptus trees, they smell very nice. There are a lot of birds, deer, geckos and other wildlife here too. I like to smell all the places they have been. It’s very relaxing here and yet you are in the middle of a giant city.
