Even my Miele vacuum repair guy is here. Park and walk, yo! You have not had pizza til you've had it at Pinocchio. My nose will grow if that's not true. The last Friday of each month is "Food Truck Friday." The shops stay open later and a ton of food trucks line the street with everything you can imagine. The Dream Donut Truck is a personal favorite. It's global small town around here, with food trucks serving up fare from all over the world, and people from all over the world too, most of whom I'm happy to call my Burbank neighbors. Dogs welcome!

It is best to visit around Halloween because they really decorate it, but anytime of year is fine. It is just a fun thing to do on a nice day. Do not go when it is raining, there is no cover for you.

It got me thru most of the pandemic. Then they shut it down. :-( It's been reopened. :-) This hike is no joke -- expect a lot of elevation gain, very uneven ground with rocks and loose soil, and def an elevated heart rate bc it'll make you work for the views it rewards. For a good hiker -- it's amazing. But I have also hiked it and seen people unprepared, ill equipped, and out of shape be helicoptered out because there is no way for paramedics to reach you with those inclines so hike beware. Wear good hiking boots or shoes with tread, bring water (gets super hot in summer!), bring a camera for the views, and be respectful of the neighborhood up there bc people live near the trail. Happy hiking!! ;-)
