The Hike to the Wisdom Tree
A short route with a proper uphill climb.
Walk up Wonder View Drive
From Lake Hollywood Drive, walk east along Wonder View Drive toward the gate at the road end. Respect the homes and driveways along the way.
Find the Burbank Peak Trail
Beyond the gate, follow the access road to the dirt trail climbing the hillside. This approach is also known as the Wonder View Trail.
Climb to the ridge
The narrow trail climbs steeply over rough ground. Take your time and stay on the established route.
Visit the tree, then return
At the ridge, the short spur west leads to the Wisdom Tree on Burbank Peak. Return the way you came. The ridge trail continuing east toward Cahuenga Peak is a different, longer outing.
