Hidden off of Jefferson Boulevard, the Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook boasts a 1-mile hiking trail, a 360 degree view of Los Angeles and the main attraction--a mountain of stairs that looms 715 feet in the air. Tip for newbies: If you don't like crowds, don't go before 8 a.m. or after 5 p.m. as those are the most popular times.
