Gorgeous views along w/ a great workout! Less people than at Runyon Canyon . Wear running shoes , trails can be slippery. Next to the zoo & golf course so it's a perfect spot for the whole family!

Chris Steele

Th observatory at the top of the trail is worth a visit in its own right, but you're missing out on the experience you don't hike up the trail from the base. Feels a bit like gently storming a castle .

Andrew Silva

Such a good hike !! Once you get to the top, the view of the city is amazing. You can see the Hollywood sign as well

Erik Rowley

Nice trail with epic views of the canyon and skyline. Watch out for rattle snakes, and horse poo...and rattle snakes that eat horse poo!!

Ashley Dando

Great views from the top. Head up just before sunset to get the sunset and the city turning into night

Alexa Whiteside

This is a fairly easy hike . However, there is a constant flow of direct sunlight so sunscreen it up and brink a big bottle of cool water

Forrest

Along the trails you'll find numerous stunning views of DTLA, the Hollywood sign , and the ocean. Take your time and enjoy the hike .

A beautiful hiking trail , goes in different paths, careful not get lost somewhere in the woods where the trail gets extremely narrow...

If you go in the summer, BRING WATER ! Like, WAY more than you think you'll need. I'm a seasoned hiker/athlete and the heat combined with virtually zero shade were too much for me!

It's worth walking on this trail , super serene and different from the hectic hustle and bustle of downtown LA .

The Ritz-Carlton

It's possible to hike in the middle of LA! Griffith Park has over 56 miles of hiking and horseback riding trails that vary in elevation .

Alisha Templeton

Park on Fern Dell or the lot just north, look for the trail heading northeast about 30 mins up to the observatory . Great hike ! Bring water .

Lara

Lots of different trails . Pick one and hike ! Bring water though because there are no water fountains anywhere.

Aaron Proctor

Some trails -- everything is unmarked -- end with a fence. Please, park rangers, can't you put signage at the other end to say a trail is closed?

Tata

The most peaceful place near the Franklin Village . Strongly recommended for scriptwriters????????

Bob Choat

It's Spring in Griffith Park and there are plenty of areas to hike . Go off trail for the better areas. Watch for wildlife , rattlesnakes, coyotes. Carry a stick, if necessary.
