Hike In Griffith Park for Eastsiders

http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/b/3/event_24423251.jpegWhy did I say for Eastsiders? I don't want you coming from West LA because traffic will be horrible--closing of the 405 freeway. If you live anywhere near the 405, don't come to this hike! You won't make it! Be a hermit for this weekend. LOL

Meet at The Griffith Park Merry Go Round Parking Lot. From the I-5 North, take the Griffith Park exit. From the 134, go to I-5 South. From the I-5 South, take the Los Felix Blvd West/ Griffith Park exit. Then travel north along Griffith Park Drive until the sign for the Merry Go Round tells you to turn Left. Park in the Lot and meet at the parking lot entrance. We are meeting at the 1st parking lot-- closest to the merry go round

Meet at 5:00, but leave at 5:15 PM. The hike is approx 5-6 miles with 1,000 feet elevation gain. Approx 2 hour hike.

A moderate hike. Not recommended for beginners unless they are in good shape. Bring 2 bottles of water and sneakers with good traction.
