Going to the gym is always a drag, love the results but the repetitiveness always gets to me. Today i decided to go to my local foothill mountains and get some hiking done. My friend Cindy Lopez, joined me as we took our exercising outside of the gym. Hellman trail was a trail that was near by, and moderately easy. I'm not a beginner hiker, but I'm no expert either, so this trail was just perfect for me. This trail gives you amazing views of the Whittier area, as well as the unfortunate smog that we are blessed with here in Los Angeles. Nature is ever present in this trail, lots of birds, rabbits, and bugs haha.

how do you get here?
- Hellman Trail Park is located in the City of Whittier, Ca.
- If you are traveling down the 605
1. exit on Beverly Blvd. 
2. turn LEFT for Beverly Blvd.
3. Turn LEFT onto GREENLEAF AVE.
4. destination will be on the LEFT

parking?
There is a small couple parking stalls that are located right at the base of the trail. If you want to try your luck at getting a parking spot, make your way there. If not, park along the residential area (be courteous since this is still a residential area)
