Mount Thom - Hiking area in Glendale - , USA

This can be a strenuous hike with a more or less continuous moderate to steep rise the whole way up. There are no significant shady sections or places to sit along the way, and it probably would be best to avoid it when it's 100°F, speaking from experience... It's also a very rewarding hike if you're up for the challenge. At the top especially, and at several places along the trail, you'll be treated to spectacular views of the city, and maybe even a glorious sunset. It's worth the effort.

Not quite sure what’s this tower for. It seems not to provide many helps on my cell phone signals. You will begin to get a good view once you reach the ridge. From here, you will see lots of yellow flowers on the small hills. Try to challenge these hills and it is worth it.

I hike here almost every day. Steady inclination gives you very good workout. The great thing about this trail is that it is not very steep and it is long enough for a fat burning mode or a cardio, depending on your speed. Finally, there are fantastic views from the top and throughout the hike.

One of my favorite hikes in Glendale. Nice steady incline the whole way, good workout. On clear days the views are beautiful! Great wide, well maintained fire road path up to the radio tower. Residential street parking, so you may have to park quite a bit from the trail head, look for the job parking signs

Amazing views from the top of the Verdugos - see DTLA and Glendale, the San Fernando Valley, and up into La Cañada. Be warned, the firebreak trail up from the Brand Library is wide and solid but very steep in places. I felt like I was on a ski slope in the summer. Here are some pics from near the top when you first hit the ridge.

It was my first time hiking. I truly liked it. The view is amazing on top of the mountain.

Great hike that's close to Glendale with great views on a clear day. It'll make you sweat but not ruin your day. Give it a shot when you want some solid exercise and to escape the crowds.

This is where you'll find peace while you will be in ahh of the surroundings. Dear visitors please respect the environment and while enjoying your hike dont trash the nature with plastics, face masks (nowadays 😷😔), dog poop bags, and plastic cups and etc.. carry those and dump them in the nearest trash can. Thank you
