Verdugo Crest Trail Trailhead

Highlight • Trail

A solid entry to the Verdugo Mountains with rewarding climbs and views, but watch the start—there are ruts and leftover metal pieces on the trail. Stay alert and pick your line carefully to avoid punctures or spills before the smoother sections begin.
