Not to be confused with Laurel Canyon Road, which is a fire road - this one is accessed through a small spur off to the right along Lone Oak Road. Follow it up a small hill, then down and slightly left to descend down into the canyon. Here you may find a small creek crossing, before heading up the wooden stairs and through steep switchbacks to re-join Laurel Canyon Road.
Thistles can be prevalent in Laurel Canyon.
Stairs aid your passage along the Laurel Canyon Trail Spur.
