Glendale California Hikes
This easy Santa Monica Mountains hike begins at the east end of the dirt road extension of Mulholland Drive and maintains a steady ascent past sweeping views of the San Fernando Valley to a former Nike missile control site that has been turned into a mountaintop park. This trail certainly isn't the most picturesque or serene of all the hikes in the Santa Monica Mountains trails, but it offers a unique peek at Cold War era Los Angeles amid the multimillion dollar mansions and mountain bike culture that now mark the area, and it reminds the young that Nike wasn't always another word for sneaker. Between 1954 and 1968, this park was one of 16 missile control Nike Air Max 2016 Womens sites established to guard the skies of Los Angeles from a nuclear attack by Soviet planes. It closed in 1968, but the radar tower, guard shack, and barbed wire fence remain. The Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy acquired the site in 1995, which planted oak trees, added picnic tables, and turned the officers' barracks into restrooms. It's a strange place for a picnic, with the disassembled radar tower and barbed wire fence looming above, and it seems Nike Air Max 2016 Womens to attract more mountain bikers looking for a pit stop than hikers. But it's quieter than most other Santa Monica Mountains trails, and the panoramic views are tough to match.
