“When I have writer’s block or feel stuck on a project, getting outside immediately helps me clear my head, and one of my favorite things about living in California is the ability to squeeze in a hike all year round. Fryman Canyon is a beautiful trail and especially close to my heart because my husband proposed here after one of our morning hikes!”

”If you are looking to get outside and experience the beautiful nature in L.A., definitely go do the Fryman Canyon hike. It takes about an hour round trip and has breathtaking views of the Hollywood Hills.”

“I have to admit that I’m not an avid hiker (I know, controversial in LA) but if there’s one hike I do like, it’s Fryman Canyon in Studio City. It’s a pretty brisk, one-hour loop with great views. But be warned: The first few minutes are a little steep, so feel free to hold off on the conversation til after the downhill if you don’t want to run out of breath like I do.”
