#4 - Whiting Woods Motorway Trail
La Tuna Canyon ParkLength: 5.7 mi • Est. 3 h 25 m
Starting at the end of Whiting Woods Road, passing through the locked gate you quickly start climbing, 2.604 miles to go. It is fairly steep consequently there are fewer mountain bikes common at other hikes in the Verdugos. The road starts out steep, get used to it, this is going to be the tempo for most of this hike, though the lower mile is generally less steep than higher up.
There are many cross country cutoffs, which cuts off long switchbacks, shortening the return trip or steepening the uphill.
Arriving at Verdugo Motorway there are many options, continuing straight will take you to an electronic site with views of the San Fernando Valley, & Los Angeles Basin.
A short way to the right is a bench if you're inclined to rest and take in the view, or just turn around and go back the way you came.
