Route Description for Tiger Tail Trail
For anyone who wants to experience a bit of rugged terrain but doesn’t want the headache of a longer journey, the Tiger Tail Trail is the perfect option to get out exploring the L.A. area.
Setting out from the trailhead on Canyonback Road, you will make your way to the southeast along the Tiger Tail Trail. In the initial stage of the hike, you will need to descend into Kenter Canyon and cross over the creek, before climbing back uphill on the opposite side.
Continuing on to the southeast, you will traverse the undulating ridge, experiencing some amazing views overlooking Los Angeles and some of the huge houses that dot the canyon landscape. Eventually, you will arrive at the endpoint of the trail at the edge of Tigertail Road, where you can turn back and follow the same route to return to the trailhead.
