Photos: Celebs Get Their Hike On At Runyon Canyon
Stars, they're just like us—they hike at Runyon Canyon!
Runyon Canyon is our little slice of heaven away from all the bustling city life of L.A. Nestled in the heart of Hollywood, this dirt path (with a majorly steep hill for those of us who like pain and sweat) is one of our favorite hiking spots where you can get a quick workout in before you head out to brunch on the weekends. Most of the time we barely notice any stars hiking since most of them are donning their undercover outfits—sunglasses and baseball caps (and fit in just like the rest of us normal Angelenos). But every now and then you spot one, it's like seeing them out in the wild.
We bring to you some photos of stars who hike in the city of Angels, from Ryan "Hey Girl" Gosling to Glee's Lea Michele.
One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere.
