First time visiting this area. I’m a nearby local from Pasadena. So far, so good. Can’t wait to hike all the trails.

This place is a hidden gem and we are all sleeping on it!! It’s tucked up in the foothills of Glendale but so easy to get to. There are a handful of trails for hiking, all with different levels of difficulty so there’s something for everyone.

What I really loved was the education center that explained the history of the area and the different types of wildlife that live in the area.

Overall, I highly recommend Deukmejian Wilderness Park and will absolutely be back.

This is a nicely maintained nature park with a nice picnic area, visitors center, and some amazing trails, especially the ones up to the summit of Lukens. The trails are also all maintained well.

I recently moved to this area and am thrilled to have found this wilderness park 5 minutes from my home. Easy to moderate hiking trails with breathtaking views and every time I go I see 1-2 bunnies 🥹 There is also a small park located near the parking lot with picnic tables as well as a “barn” / educational center with a small grape vine field in the back. Amazing spot!!

This wilderness parked is right next to the mountains and provides many hiking opportunities of all levels. There is a museum that has interactive exhibits geared to teach us about the local environment, the flora and fauna, and the wildlife found in the area. The museum also gives us a brief history of the people who have called the surrounding area home.

We were fortunate enough to come on a weekend as part of a childrens interactive hike. They gave the kids brief introductions to scientific terms, took us a short hike, and then arts and craft time where they made mosquito repellent necklaces. It’s really cool to expose kids to the outdoors and science. This location does a great job of that.

There are also picnic areas where families can come and enjoy a day at the park and enjoy the scenery. I got the impression that it can get hot in the summer, so if you do come during that time, bring plenty of water.
