Runyon Canyon night hike

LATE, LATE AT NIGHT as the city buzzes under the blanket of almost dark I am climbing the dusty trails of Runyon Canyon for a view of LA at night that few have the occasion to glimpse. From the ridge line trails of Runyon you are astride the peaks of the ancient Santa Monica mountains and you have some of the best views of the city.

From this vantage it is never dark, not so long as the city glows and glimmers.

Downtown L.A., as seen from Runyon Canyon Park

Runyon officially closes at dusk, but those who know, know that the gate never closes and the crowds that pack the park at sunset are nonexistent as the full moon shines down on LA. I love having the park and the sweeping views of the city to myself. This time I pack my camera to capture do some long exposure photographs of the Los Angeles skyline.

Tonight a low layer of lazy fog lays just above the grid. The electric grid lights the sky-gauze from below.

Coyotes bray from somewhere in the canyon.
