About Mount Washington

Mount Washington is a steep, leafy hilltop neighborhood in northeast LA, laced with public staircases and home to Elyria Canyon Park, a pocket of native wildflowers, oak woodland and trails. It's a quiet, green retreat above the Arroyo Seco.

Winding lanes, hidden viewpoints and the canyon's seasonal blooms make it one of the eastside's best free spots for a hillside walk.
