Griffith Park Trails

This trail allows you to experience the breathtaking panoramic view of Los Angeles from the Griffith Observatory, you might want to do it in the morning so you have plenty of parking options at the bottom of the trail. Watching the sunrise over the city from this vantage point is simply magical. However, if you prefer a different time, witnessing the sunset is equally mesmerizing. It's also a wonderful way to escape the concrete jungle that is LA. There's plenty of wildlife to spot along the way, adding an element of adventure and connection to nature.

It was my first time hiking these trails, and they’re pretty easy to navigate. Unfortunately, we got there early at 8 a.m., and the sky was covered in smog, so we couldn’t catch a view of the Hollywood sign.

Great spot to hike. Very scenic and variety of things to see. Fun to do hiking loop. Not too hard. Does get steep near the top. Bring some water and good shoes. Saw a rattlesnake on the trail, so keep eyes open 🐍 👀

It’s was a moderate trail. Saw plenty of birds, Mountain View’s, the Hollywood sign and of course entered the observatory building. You need a good 2 hours to enjoy everything and come early before the tourist crowd.

Beautiful view of the Griffith and LA paranormal views. Easy peasy hike. You can find parking when you go up to the Griffith but not the top and walk up the museum. There are also plenty of trails around the area that you should check out! $10 for parking, busy during the weekends and extremely packed so come here on weekdays in ideal!
