LA TimesThis story is part of our ultimate guide to hiking in L.A. You can buy a print copy at the L.A. Times store. I really love hiking in Kenneth Hahn State Park because it’s so close by and because I see so many other Black and brown people. Carlos Berruz, founder of the unofficial Dodgers Blue Hiking Crew “Griffith Park just offers such an amazing view and different rest points for people, where they can stop and take pictures.. It’s about creating memories.” Carlos Berruz merged his love of hiking with his love of the Dodgers to create the unofficial Dodgers Blue Hiking Crew. “You’d be amazed how many people have been born and raised in Los Angeles that have never been to the top of Griffith Park,” says Berruz, a longtime Angeleno who now lives in Sonoma County. Greg Pauley, curator of herpetology, L.A. Museum of Natural History, and co-author of “Wild L.A.: Explore the Amazing Nature in and Around Los Angeles” One of the things I always say about being in the L.A. area: People always think there’s not that much nature, it’s such a big city, I’m not going to see a lot of nature here.
