    Route Description for Huntington Library and Gardens Trail

    The Huntington Library and Gardens Trail is less of a hike and more of a leisurely stroll, but that doesn’t stop it from being a popular outdoor activity in the L.A. area. Featuring a beautiful garden setting that will take hours to fully explore, this is the perfect route to explore if you are after a relaxing excursion with the family.
