April 9, 2021went on a thursday evening for sunset. paid lot closes at 7:15pm and they lock the gate, so park on the street if you plan on being there later than that. street parking is free anyway vs $12 lot parking. not too many people on a weekday evening, and the views were amazing. i love this park and this loop takes you through so much different scenery: horses, nature trails with wild flowers and bunnies, ocean and malibu mansion views, city skylines, benches with motivational quotes, a cool old bridge in the canyons. highly recommend at sunset :)
April 6, 2021This was my first time out to Will Rogers Park and it did not disappoint! Not very difficult, although the peak became slightly adventurous and exciting. When we descended we discovered the old Will Rogers stables and they were beautiful! Next time we’ll continue the trail further. It seems to go on and on!
April 6, 2021good amount of up and down, nice views, mix of single track and fire road, quiet. nice! horses are a bonus :)
April 3, 2021Awesome trail, with the added bonus of seeing horses!
March 30, 2021March 28, 2021Amazing trail. Fun for kids too! Next time we will take our mountain bikes.
March 28, 2021Great trail, a perfect short hike! There isn’t a lot of shade so beware that it gets a bit hot. We also weren’t totally clear on where the loop trail ended and ended up going a little higher up to get better views
March 25, 2021Lots of loop network options. Several trail cut offs for private viewpoint spots. Little shade. Not very steep
March 20, 2021Awesome
March 19, 2021Really fun hike but very crowded on the weekend.
March 7, 2021March 6, 2021A great hike with some nice views of LA and Santa Monica. It can be pretty crowded up to Inspiration Point, but if you continue on to Backbone Trail, there are a lot less people.
February 26, 2021It's pretty easy. Pretty busy. And it's pretty.
February 25, 2021Will Rogers is a nice park with a ventilated bathroom. It can be a bit busy in the beginning of the trail near the parking lot but gets less crowded the further you hike in. Nice to get some air and movement here but you'll still feel painfully aware that you're in the city. Of note are the horseback riders texting on their smartphones. That's a head scratcher.
February 20, 2021February 20, 2021Pretty much all flat, so great trail for some fresh air and sunshine when you don’t want too much of a challenge.
February 19, 2021Great hike, amazing ocean and city views, partly shaded, good mix of flat and steep parts. Went past bridges to peak just beyond, worth doing.
February 15, 2021Nice trail, pretty easy with a few steep sections. Most people wearing masks. Beautiful views!
February 14, 2021February 9, 2021Great views. And quick hike.
February 6, 2021Fantastic views from inspiration point. Inspired me to run the rest of the trail despite taking so many wrong turns. Quite steep towards the out. Take a few breathes of you need to. Make sure to check which direction you need to go before starting the trail. Also quite narrow on some parts. Make sure to slow down, be polite, and mask up when passing others!
February 1, 2021January 31, 2021January 31, 2021Easy walk with great views
January 30, 2021January 28, 2021i think this was one of the easier moderate-level trails! parking was easy $3/hr. i paid for 3 hours and had plenty of time left after the hike. amazing view at the top
