Great site! Thanks for sharing.
I’d love to see this list either broken down by area or just listing a general location after each hike!
Hi Shawn, thanks for reading. If you look under the “find the right hikes for you” tab which is a pull-down menu, and scroll down, you’ll see that you can look up hikes by general location (San Fernando Valley, Angeles National Forest, etc). On each individual write-up, when you click on “location”, you’ll be linked to a map of the trail head. Hope you find this helpful.
