Shit, I think Angeles Crest highway might be closed cause the fires fucked it all up, and I think it's the same for the areas I know around Pasadena and Altadena.

How about the Santa Monica mountains, Topanga, Malibu, Point Mugu?

i second the santa monica mountains suggestion, probably your closest bet, super beautiful, and lotsa of manzanitas<3

There are a few good spots in Topanga... I would be careful in Malibu because the cops tend to have a low tolerance for anyone who looks out of place.

Joshua Tree National Park is about a 2 hour drive from LA. Amazing hiking and rock climbing there. It's only about $5 to get in and you can stay up to 2 weeks.

Big Bear is a pretty chill town. There's snow up there right now though. Not sure if that is an ideal place to squat at right now. There's a bus that takes you up the mountain from San Bernardino.

Yeah, it is nice up there.

You can ride into Colton, catch the #1 bus on Valley (like at Rancho), get off at the San Bernardino metrolink, walk up to where they sell the tickets, the MARTA bus will pick you up there and take you up to Crestline, or Lake Arrowhead or Big Bear. You'd have to search the web to get prices and all, I've done it before, but I forget.

Last I took the bus up I think it was about $7.

Parksons Landing hike in is a place you can try Monte Cristo, Messenger flats, Or South fork are all realatively close and inexpensive. If you can get your hands on an Adventure Pass most of these places are like 3 bucks. Best of luck.
