Griffith Park Pack Walk
Details
Join us for a community pack hike through Griffith Park! This hike is a chance to get outside, enjoy nature, and connect with both new and familiar faces while spending quality time with our dogs.
The route is just under 6 miles and includes some steady inclines, so come prepared for a moderate workout. Whether you’re a regular to our walks or joining us for the first time, all are welcome.
Please be sure to bring plenty of water for both yourself and your dog, wear comfortable walking/hiking shoes, and be prepared for the weather.
We look forward to seeing you on the trail!
Please read entire description before you RSVP.

First rule of our pack walks is to BE SAFE so that everyone has fun! All participants must comply to ALL guidelines below or will be asked to leave the event.
- Participants limited to 26 people. RSVP is required to hold a spot. As soon as you know you cannot attend, cancel your reservation. We understand last-minute changes take place; however, if you don't show up more than two times you will be placed on the wait list for future events.
- If you feel even slightly ill (including a headache, sniffles, minor fever or even an allergy), do not attend this event. Stay home for your health and safety of others. Remember to cancel your reservation.

DIFFICULTY: Moderate, a couple of stretches with inclines
DISTRACTION LEVEL: Medium (lots of squirrels, hikers, dogs, kids)
LARPBO PACK WALK GUIDELINES:
#1 All dogs must be on a secure collar and leash. Dogs using e-collars must also be on a leash. Prong collars should be backed up with a carabiner. Short leashes are recommended (less than 6 feet). Retractable leashes and harnesses are not allowed as they provide little control.
#2 PLEASE NO NOSE TO NOSE CONTACT (dog to dog that is). Always maintain a six-foot distance between dogs. There should be no dog-on-dog interaction.
#3 Please bring doggie poo bags.
#4 Make sure you bring water for you and your dog.
#5 One dog per handler. No exceptions!
#6 Share the road. Move to the right to let others pass.
- All breeds welcome.
- There will be foot traffic, bikes, and several other dogs. If your dog tends to be reactive to any of these distractions, please be EXTRA mindful and prepared.
- If you have additional questions, please read the full basic LARPBO Rules of Conduct
