Hey everyone it's the light skin dragon coming to you live and directly from today's adventures! I was feeling depressed about not seeing or speaking to my daughter, my cars engine is broken and will cost me 5000, and not being able to go to class this week because of my situation! I told myself I will take the bus and come to see Mother Nature. While I was on my fast in January I booked marked these stair here so god spoke to me today and so I went. I needed to see the green, get fresh air and just get back into my own zone because of the funk I've been in. Being here help me think of good times I've been to stairs, or on a trails I've been on. People I've gone on hikes with or even loved ones for their first time. The views got me out of my own mind and really gave me clarity of where I should be and where I'm heading. God reveals all and have me see things which I appreciate the good and the bad. And it really shows me I need to be where I need to be. I am willing to take more adventures soon with the bus and just humbling myself as a post I posted on social media about me remaining with an open heart to see what life has to offer now. Light skin dragon blasting off looking for another place to calm my nerves, and remain at peace which this area honestly brought and it was hard to find taking the bus and walking haha read more

Do not follow the google map navigation. You have to go towards Audi dealership. Go past the dealership until you are at the end of the street. I couldn't walk for the next two days. Definitely a good workout stairs!! read more

On February 15, 2026, the forecast called for outdoor adventure weather in the Valley, so we decided to hike to the CALABASAS HIDDEN STAIRS. At 10am, the landscape was vibrant green, the air was crisp, and the blue sky was scattered with cloud coverage to provide us with shade during the trek. The dirt trail was dry, not muddy. In some areas the width of the trail could only accommodate a single file lane, but it was still very pleasant hike to the hidden staircase. There are 9 flights of stairs, which comprise of 377 steps to the fence. Many people would climb the stairs multiple times! The round trip is about 1.3 miles, which took us about 45 minutes. Could be longer if you climb the stairs more than once, or connect to another trail such as the Bark Park trail. We did see a handful of dogs and their owners. This neighborhood trail can easily be a regular workout, especially in the Fall through Spring. I imagine it would be scorching hot in the summer. Stay observant...could be snakes and mountain lions in the area! Parking is available along the curb on Calabasas Rd. read more

Calabasas Hidden Stairs - A bit steep going down towards the hidden staircase - Hiking Near Me

The Calabasas Hidden Stairs is such a great hike if you want something scenic but still a solid workout. The stairs definitely get your heart rate up, and the views at the top are completely worth it--rolling green hills, open sky, and that calm Calabasas energy. One important tip: Google Maps and Apple Maps won't take you directly there. If it's your first time, definitely look it up on YouTube--the video directions make it much easier to find. Perfect for a morning workout, a quick fitness challenge, or a peaceful hike with views. Short, effective, and truly a hidden gem. read more

The name may imply that these stairs are hidden and hard to find: but if you ask any local they know these stairs! Not hidden at all and well traveled! The trailhead is off Calabasas parkway just past the Audi dealership. There is some street parking. Just be careful to read signs and obviously don't park in the red zone. Also hide valuables! It's a short walk to the stairs! During the summer the ground is super hard which is good for footing but in winter you could experience loose soil or mud to the stairs. When there is loose dirt, you may see a rope to help you down and help- how thoughtful! As mentioned the stairs are well used. Best to go early morning in summer before sun is out and still foggy to stay cool. You will find you are not alone in this adventure of climbing 375 steps! The test is how many times you can do it in a row! During our adventure we saw deer. The deer was busy munching. Fellow walkers said they have seen cats, so be on the lookout for wildlife! Happy climbing! read more

If you're looking for a 30 minute workout on the stairs, this is the place to go, especially if you're a local. Parking is on the side street. I would recommend going early so you find space to park your car. My calves were so sore the next day. It had beautiful views and a little short trail. Bring a friend or go alone. It is a definite must see! read more

Calabasas stairs are always a challenge. Sometimes we go 3 up and down and other times twice. It's a great workout read more

375 steps of the Hidden Stairs is a great workout with a nice scenic view at the top as your reward. Showoffs went up and down multiple times. Me and my #1 lady did not! One thing apparent were the beautiful people on the trail being so friendly. Forget the apps or the dating scene. The Calabasas Stairs is the place to meet people! You walk a 0.6 mile trail before getting to the Stairs. The trail is uneven and narrow in some sections. You'll see rabbits and gophers and occasional deer. To get to the Stairs, drive on Calabasas Avenue and go past the car dealerships. When the road curves right, go straight and drive until the road ends. Park on the street. Most likely, you'll see other cars parked. Our GPS took us to the top of the hill. If your GPS does that, don't believe it! read more

Spent the New Year's Day hiking here. One star off for the confusing pathway leading to the bottom of the stairs. Stay on the left trail going down that will lead you to the paved pathway to the bottom of the stairs. The hike going to the stairs was also narrow, barely room for 2-way foot traffic. The steps on the stairs were not steep so it was very doable and every 50 or so steps there are break spots. Parking is on the side of the road, just make sure you read the signs and avoid parking on the red area. read more

Great spot for a good walk! A little tricky getting across to the stairs from the trail but well worth it.

Yelp Duchess of this place as of 11/4/2020! HA! For a great, quick outdoor workout, get it done at the Calabasas Hidden Stairs. Occasional scent of urine along the path, but that doesn't stop me from getting my workout in. Daylight savings time is killing my outdoor workouts -UGH! It's pitch black out here past 5PM, so bring a headlamp or flashlight. There are 376 steps one-way, so if there is enough sunlight, I try to get in 5X each way. Dirt trail to the stairs is easy peasy -wear good athletic shoes. When you start hiking from the trailhead, follow the path that turns right. Free parking near the trailhead. No critters or rattlesnakes, the times I've been ...doesn't mean they aren't there. Always be safe and on alert. Stay safe and healthy (mind, body and soul) out there :) Lastly, LEAVE NO TRACE -take your trash, basura with you cochinos! read more

Ummmm, ok! This is the most fun I've had on a lunch break in a long time. If you know me, you know I adore the stair master. I'm putting it extremely mildly when I say I've been deeply saddened by the gym being closed (if another therapist has to hear me cry about it I'll prob be blacklisted by all providers), one of the main reasons is in part to my love affair with that machine. I've never really had the a** to prove the time I put in on that thing but that may be in part to being a runner, I use the stairmaster to cross train and just get a really intense sweat sesh going, burn out the crazy if you will. I'll admit, I'm not really a "stairs" person. You'll never find me actively looking to go running up and down, skipping a step, two at timing, sideways leg raise shit along on anything like the Santa Monica stairs with a bunch of randos, that's just not my vibe. When yelp came out with their Local Adventure Challenge I was so stoked. I was glancing over the list and spotted these secret stairs. I've done a few other sets of secret stairs around LA but these looked really enticing with a little bit of hiking out and back to them and a lot more secluded than other sets. I knew I couldn't wait to check them out. I decided to try a weekday to avoid crowds and it worked out perfectly. It was a warm day and these stairs aren't shaded. I asked my friend to choose a number between 5-10 and it was 6, so that was my goal for today, having never done these before. I stopwatched each set so I know my times to beat in the future and let me tell you, my legs were shaking and trembling like no other by the time I was done. I saw a few people come out and only go up once, I will say I'm not the most athletic person around (especially given the circumstances of the past 5 months) but I could never see myself coming here for 1 set. I think my new goal will be 10, then maybe 15 and just feel it out depending on the weather conditions. The hike out to the stairs is probably about 10min each way and one set is around 3min (maybe way less if you're running or in good shape, I'd say skip trying to take a break on a landing - not necessary at all but glad they are there) so you could do one set but unless you live right around the corner and you're jogging here and just fitting it into your routine you'd only be here 25 minutes or so. We stayed awhile and sorta made a little cardio sesh out of it. Luckily we had the stairs to ourselves for almost the entire time which was really nice and felt comfy leaving our water bottles at the top and bottom as to not have to carry them up and down. I will most definitely be returning, this is a 5 star set of stairs to get your heart rate up. I'm not super into snakes but I do sort of like seeing them when I'm out on hikes. I'd prepared myself and my friend to see some really big ones due to the hot weather and after reading a lot of the reviews but not a single snake in sight. I'd still be on the lookout though if you aren't so fond of them because it does appear some super big ones are lurking around out here. The trail is cut back really well right now, but still very very dry. Wear a hat, and sunscreen, bring water and get ready for a really fun time! read more

We absolutely loved this hike/stairs combo trail! Visited back in late September as part of the #localadventurechallenge and it was so fun! It's easy to find, right off the highway and the gps apps recognize it if you just plug the name in. Also, the entrance is just off the street on the right and there's plenty of street parking (free). The trail entrance is paved and obvious. There's a small chain across it but it's open - it's just to keep cars out. Follow the paved path off to the left and it's just over a 1/2 mile hike to get to the stairs, some paved, some not. There's a very steep hill and a small creek you have to cross right at tue bottom of the stairs to get to them - it's pretty darn steep and dusty so be sure to wear shoes with some good traction. There's also a rope tied to the tree to help you up and down if you need it - I had my regular tennis shoes on and definitely had to use the rope on the way back up lol! There are a total of 376 stairs with platforms in between in case you need to rest. Someone was nice enough to mark the numbers occasionally along the climb so that's co! There's also some really gorgeous views from the top. It's good fun! read more

It was hard to find as google maps wants to take you to the entrance of a gated community . we tried day one and failed but day 2 we found it with much success . find the coordinates through the trailhead app. make sure you are on calabasas road and not parkway. you will basically hit a dead end street turn around and park! pretty sure ted danson helped us at the base of the trail it's a nice 15-20 minute hike, very hilly but nice little jaunt to the steps . 373 steps but it was totally worth it ! bring water . gorgeous views ! read more

Calabasas Hidden Stairs - Hiking Near Me

I really had no idea what I was thinking of going here after a rainstorm. I think because it said "hidden stairs" I was thinking it was a concrete path and stairs. I was so wrong. Parking is about an 8 minute walk from the entrance of the pathway. Once you get to the entrance and it is about a 2 mile trail round trip. The pathway isn't too bad, but because I did an impromptu Tough Mudder it took a little longer. I had to take a moment to remove mud from my shoes and walk a little slower at times. From the main path there will be a path that descends on the left. There is a rope tied to the tree that you can use to help you get to the bottom of the trail and from there it is concrete to the steps. I went up and down a few times, but of course go to how many times you are comfortable with. The trail is good for older kids who are capable of doing numerous stairs. I will definitely be back when there have been a few days of sunshine because the muddy trek to the stairs overshadowed the stairs for me. read more

Definitely a work out! Make sure you pee before starting and take water! Lots of people coming and going and everyone seems to be very friendly read more

This is a great workout! The distance and the incline are perfect for a great run or hike. This is also a great spot to bring the dogs as you can tire them out while getting a great workout. read more

This a Los Angeles get away in Los Angeles. Definitely not your typical Hollywood hike / stairs trails. It is quiet - not a lot of people on a clear beautiful day amazing 360 views. You will get a workout trekking up 375 steps. It's a fun experience. Bring water, a cap/hat and comfortable shoes. I recommend later afternoon because you get the orange lighting against the mountains. It takes about 45 mins. Even the drive from Los Angeles to Calabasas is worth it. Have fun - Enjoy Peace Love Be A Proud American read more

Moderately easy hike! Keep in mind there is no designated "parking lot" but it seems hikers have no problem parking by the side of the road, neither did I. Seems more daunting than it really is, you can complete the hike well under an hour. There is a steep-ish part getting to the stairs but there's a rope to help with balance. Overall really fun! Your legs will feel it while taking in the great view! read more

Calabasas Hidden Stairs - View from the top! - Hiking Near Me

I'm going to make this short and simple. Tips: - DO use the Yelp address. You might end up at the exclusive gated community if you just type in "Calabasas Hidden Stairs" on Google - Bring PLENTY OF WATER. The trail to the stairs has little to no shade. It's going to be scorching hot to do this in the middle of summer - As a seasonal beginner hiker (someone who hikes only during spring to early summer), the trail going to hidden stairs was EASY. You will come across a steep descent on the way to the stairs so be prepared. I saw kids doing it so it should be FINE but I know it can be a little challenging for some people. - All Trails note this as MODERATE difficulty with about 2.2mile hike - PARKING is LIMITED. Either you come early or late in the afternoon. - It's definitely SHORTER than the Baldwin Hills Overlook by Culver City - It can get BUSY as a lot of people love to do their cardio on the stairs so be CONSIDERATE - I took my 20lb corgi puppy here and I didn't have any problems with snake or poisonous plants. In my opinion, it is DOG FRIENDLY BUT BE CAUTIOUS. It is the outdoors and this is a home for a lot of wild animals just like most of the hiking trails. read more

Calabasas Hidden Stairs - Hiking Near Me

They added NO PARKING signs all around the trailhead area. I spoke to someone who works at the dealership nearby and apparently tickets have been given out. I can't comprehend why they did this. Is it to enforce social distancing? Why take away one of the only modes of exercise people have left? Anyway, if you drive up the road a bit, the signs will end, but it's a bit of a trek back to the trailhead. Also, annoyed by how dirty this area is. I emailed the city a few months ago to see if they could install a garbage can since people just leave their trash in plastic bags (one at the stairs and one at the start of trailhead) or toss it on the ground. Clearly, that hasn't occurred. I picked up about 5 pounds of trash just from the area alongside the trailhead (I was too worried about getting a ticket to walk to the stairs). Anyway, aside from all that, the stairs are super fun and a great workout (as per my previous review). read more

Really really enjoyed the stairs themselves! Such a great workout! Very lowkey and enjoyable! Such a great view at the top of the stairs as well! Parking was very easy. What I did not enjoy at all was the hike leading up to get to the stairs! Not sure if there's more than one route but the path I took was terrible. It super narrow and in the middle of tall grass. I honestly felt like I was in a safari or a corn maze. It was hard to tell if I was going the right way or not. Very confusing and not enjoyable at all! It would be amazing if they cut the grass down. If there's a better path to take someone please let me know! read more

Came here on a Wednesday afternoon and got a quick little workout in. Parking wasn't hard to find, however I was nervous about getting a ticket or even getting my car towed because of the reviews... Luckily both of those situations didn't happen. At first it was a bit difficult finding the stairs because there's this dirt trail you would need to travel on first. We found out how to get to the stairs through a different website, I think my sister found the directions on hikespeak.com? Please don't quote me on that. However the dirt trail itself wasn't crowded, we passed about 2 people walking to the stairs. When when got to the stairs itself, it wasn't bad as well there were probably 5 people on there, but then again we went on a Tuesday afternoon around 2pm. I can see how this place can get crowded pretty quickly as parking is sparse and the trail/stairs are pretty narrow. The views were pretty but during this time of year (January), the surroundings looked pretty dry and very different from the photos filled with green hills you'd see on the other yelp reviews/ instagram. Pretty cool spot to work out at if you're in the area but I honestly don't think its worth the drive if you'd have to travel from far. Have fun ! read more

I absolutely love this hidden gem. The location is somewhat safe I would say (of course i do advise to lock your car and keep belongings in your trunk regardless) but it is a nice short hike to the staircase. PLEASE DON'T LITTER! I always advise people on the stairs to bring a trash bag and hang it by the fence because TOO many times I have been coming to these stairs and see trash all over. How sad. Please please please do not litter! You see trash pick it up and instead of throwing/leaving your trash, bring it back to your car with you. My advice: bring a trash bag to this location and hang it by the fence for people to use as well. That is what I do. Enjoy :) read more

I went on Sunday morning. My friend and I got there somewhat early so we were able to find parking about a quarter of a mile up from the trail entrance. I would recommend going earlier in the morning, if you want to get good parking. The trail leading up to the stairs is relatively tame, with a couple of steep gravelly areas. You might even see deer on the hillside! Of course the stairs are the highlight. Going up once or twice will definitely get your heart rate up. More than that will make for a solid cardio workout. I recommend bringing lots of water for this hike. I went on a relatively cloudy day, but I can see how a sunnier day can get very hot. read more

These are my favorite stairs. They are not rugged. They are not crowded. They are evenly spaced. They are challenging. They are wide enough for people to pass without contact. People are not aggressive. Parking is good. Plenty of places to rest through out the staircase. I am happy to have learned of this place and will be back. If you despise Runyon Canyon Stairs, like me and like Culver City Stairs and Echo Park Stairs you will likely love these. read more

I love this hike. I've never had an issue with parking although I recommend that you don't leave anything sitting out because I have seen shattered glass on the floor. The trail to the stairs is not long and very easy. The trail to the stairs dips down and is almost hidden so don't miss it. There's a rope to help you get up or down from the hidden stairs. The stairs are a little over 300 steps. It shouldn't take more than an hour to complete from the parking area and back. Must try! read more
