Parks & Nature
Walk to the top of Escalon, then turn right on Encino Hills and you'll see a dirt road veer to the right. This is the start of the hiking trail. You can either hike toward the right to the Nike Missile Tower, or to the left...both roads offer stunning views of the Santa Monica Mountains.
