Evening Hike in Griffith Park with Nikki

July 23-Night hike to Mt Hollywood in Griffith Park to enjoy the sunset over the ocean, view of the lights of the LA basin, and avoid the hottest part of the day. This is a 5 mile RT, apx 800’ gain hike up to the top of Mt Hollywood which overlooks the Griffith Observatory and affords views from downtown LA, to Santa Monica and Glendale. Bring water, snacks or dinner, boots, flashlight or headlamp, and trekking poles. We’ll eat at the picnic tables on the summit! Meet at Towsley Cyn outside the gate before 6:00pm for a 6:15pm departure to the trail head or meet at the trailhead parking lot at 7pm. To meet at the trailhead from Santa Clarita, take I-5 South and exit at Los Feliz Blvd. Turn right on Crystal Springs Dr into Griffith Park. Take a left turn at the stop sign near the Park Ranger Station (apx 1.5 miles) at the sign for the Merry Go Round parking lot. Drive past the tennis courts, through the first parking lot and past the Merry Go Round to the second parking lot. Park at the north-end of the second parking lot.
