Tim, You are talking about the La Crescents View trail I believe and yes it is a bit dangerous in a few areas. I myself won't take my dog past a certain point. There actually needs to be a retaining wall built on some of that area. I prefer the Rim of the Valley hike. It is very beautiful and safer than the Crescenta View hike. The uphill grades are more gentle. I love taking my dog on this hike. Beware the bugs are starting to come out so you will need some bug protection. Bring plenty of water. It is best to hike very early in the morning or in the evening during the summer months.
