Chapter 2: The Surrounding Mountains

The City of San Fernando is located in the San Fernando Valley. Therefore, it is surrounded by “the Santa Susana Mountains to the northwest, the Simi Hills to the west, the Santa Monica Mountains and Chalk Hills to the south, the Verdugo Mountains to the east, and the San Gabriel Mountains to the northeast.”
The land in the center of these mountains is flat with an elevation of about 600 ft. to 1,200 ft. above sea level and mostly urban.

One of San Fernando’s neighbor is the city of Sylmar. In Sylmar, CA, you can find a park named Veteran’s Memorial Park where you can go for a hike up a mountain trail and view from the top the City of San Fernando and its surroundings. I have done the hike twice, and below I have posted the view that you can see from the mountain top.

 

Here is a video I found on Youtube that shows the view from Veteran's Memorial Park.
