Event Information
Event Name SingularCity Hike in Franklin Canyon Park
Event Description Join SingularCity's "I Heart Hiking" group on Saturday, July 31 at 11 a.m. for a before lunch hike on Hastain Trail in Franklin Canyon Park.

The distance is 2.3 miles round trip, moderate to strenuous. The trail rises steadily on a fire road through a chaparral covered slope, you will arrive at an overlook offering views of the lower canyon, West Los Angeles and on a clear day, the Pacific Ocean. From there, the trail drops down to a single track trail to the lawn at the Ranch Area next to the old Doheny house.

Directions: From West Los Angeles, head north on Beverly Drive following signs to Coldwater Canyon. Turn left on Coldwater/Beverly Drive, and turn left again on Beverly Drive, at Fire Station No. 2. The third right is Franklin Canyon Drive. Continue through the residential area to park entrance. At the intersection of Franklin Canyon Drive and Lake Drive is an abandoned house. Take Lake Drive (right) and the beginning of the trail is less than a mile on the left.
.
From the San Fernando Valley, take the Ventura Freeway (101) or Ventura Boulevard to Coldwater Canyon Boulevard. Head south to the intersection of Coldwater Canyon and Mulholland Drive. Make a 90 degree right turn onto Franklin Canyon Drive. Road signs read "Road Closed 800 Feet" "Sunset to Sunrise"; this is the park entrance. Do NOT make a U-turn as this will bring you onto Mulholland Drive instead of Franklin Canyon. Stay on paved surface to reach the Sooky Goldman Nature Center. Continue south of the lake for 1.5 miles to reach the Franklin Canyon Ranch site area.

Parking: The main parking lot is located at the Ranch Area.
