The Westchester Fire Trail is the go-to place for Mar Vista residents wanting to visit a local park and hiking trail. The area offers miles of trails and paths for runners, joggers, hikers or bike riders alike that will leave you feeling like you found a “hidden gem” near your apartment. The trails are easy enough for anyone to use, but can provide a challenge if you push the pace and try to take paths uphill.

Reviews tell locals that “On a clear day I think you'd get a good view of the Santa Monica Mountains” but “The trail has pockets of shade here and there but for the most part it can get quite hot” so be sure to bring plenty of water and the right clothes for your jog. The Westchester Road can be difficult to find, so go to the end of Dunbarton Ave near 77th street and look for the joggers and bike riders. Enjoy your hiking day.
