does anyone have any recommendations for good hikes in the LA area or the west side?

Griffith Park is probably your best bet. There's a number of trails you can take there.

Hi - I promise I'm not just trying to promote my blog, but I have a blog called "Hiking L.A." that lists a lot of good hikes in the area. I also have links to other hiking sites that should help.
Specifically, I would recommend the hike to Sandstone Peak on the Mishe Mokwa trail. It takes you to the highest point in the Santa Monica Mountains and gives you a great view of the ocean.
A good book about hiking SoCal is "Trails of the Angeles."
It's hard to recommend a hike without knowing how strenous/long you want the hike to be. Check out my blog and the links and hopefully you should find something good!

The are some nice hiking areas around PCH. The ocean view makes it worth while.

"10 Essential Hikes" in So Cal -- I think at least a couple of them should fit your criteria.

Temescula Canyon, just off Sunset on the way to Malibu.
Great view, waterfall and about 2.6 miles long (loop)
