Stough Canyon Nature Center & Hiking Trails

A 6.7 mile loop that leads to Verdugo Peak starting from the Stough Canyon Trail Head. Beginning at the top of Walnut Avenue, the fire road leads to the Verdugo Mountainway Trail. The Verdugo Mountainway is an extensive trail system which extends from the Sun Valley area, south to Brand Park in Glendale, and northeast to Tujunga and LaCrescenta. Hiking and mountain biking are permitted on the fire roads. The smaller trails are for hiking only, and along with the fire roads, lead to spectacular views of the San Fernando Valley.

Trails are open from sunrise to sunset, but please note that the trails may be closed at any time due to hazardous conditions as a result of inclement weather including, fire, excessive wind or heat, rainstorms, etc. Signage will be posted at the trail head. Please do not enter the trail area if closed signs are posted.
