Sierra Club Griffith Park Moonlight Hike
Merry Go Round Lot Two, Los Angeles, CA, USModerate hike to a vista in the park (~4 to 5 miles RT, ~1100 ft elevation gain); bring a food item to share or for yourself. Leashed well-mannered dogs welcome. Gather at 6:45pm and sign waiver sheets; hike begins at 7pm and lasts around 2 1/2 hours.(Waiver form is separate from those used for the regular evening hikes.)
No beginners or tigers, please. (Tigers are super-fast hikers who wouldn't be satisfied with a moderate pace.) For those familiar with our Tuesday/Thursday evening hikes, the socially-paced hike will be similar to a level 2 or 3.
There are usually between 10 and 25 hikers on the Moonlit hikes; not everyone RSVPs on Meetup.
What to bring: Water, a light jacket in case it gets cold, and a food item to share or for yourself. Hiking boots/shoes are recommended. Flashlights are optional; many leaders discourage their use except in emergencies. (If used, colored lenses such as red help preserve others' night vision). Leashed, well-behaved dogs welcome. This is a front country outing.
If you have questions or have trouble finding the meeting spot (see directions below), please contact leader Alina at 773-480-7585 (at reasonable hours).
Rain in the park at the time of the hike cancels. Check the weather:

As hikers, we can park for free. Just get into the line of cars and when you get to the head of the line, tell the parking attendant that you are there to hike. Then please find parking in lot #2 or #3.
Directions to Merry-Go-Round Lot #2: From Los Feliz Blvd just west of the 5, take Crystal Springs north into the park; you’ll soon pass a freeway onramp. After around a mile, you’ll come to a 4-way intersection, with the Ranger station on your right. Make a left (going west). At the top of the road you’re forced to turn right into the (unlit) lot #1. Drive through the lot and along the road that leaves the opposite corner. You’ll soon come to lot #2, which is lit. The Sierra Club meets at the far (north) end of the lot, by the stone steps.
Going north on the 5 from Downtown LA, you can also get off at the Griffith Park exit and take Crystal Springs going north, following the directions above. Other routes go from near the Zoo or from Travel Town; you can get directions from this link:

Sierra Club Griffith Park Tuesday Evening Hikes
Merry Go Round Lot Two, Los Angeles, CA, USPlease come early (~6:40pm on) to sign the required waiver form ("participation agreement") and get your new PINK waiver card, good until the end of 2026.
Come and enjoy a great evening of hiking and conversation with fellow hikers. These conditioning hikes range in level from fairly easy (level 1) through moderate (levels 2 and 3) to advanced hikes (levels 4, 5, and 6). All levels have hills; terrain is sometimes steep with uneven footing. Because hikers are expected to maintain the pace set by hike leaders, newcomers should not hike above level 3 and may wish to start at level 2. >>>On Tuesday & Thursday evenings, we offer *simultaneous* hikes at a variety of levels. While some levels may not be offered on a given evening, we try to cover a range of levels.<<<
Hikes are led by trained leaders and last approximately 2 hrs. Hikes begin at 7pm; newcomers should get there early to fill out a waiver and should carry the waiver card with them on the hikes. There are usually 30-60 people at the hikes.
What to bring: Bring water and a light jacket in case it gets cold. Hiking boots/shoes or other shoes with good traction are necessary for the harder hikes (levels 3-5) and are strongly encouraged for all hikes; tennis shoes with good tread may be sufficient for the more moderate hikes (levels 1 & 2). Flashlights are optional; many leaders discourage their use except in emergencies. If flashlights are used, red lights are preferable as they interfere less with night vision. Please, no radios or other sound-producing devices that others can hear. If earbuds are used, please leave one out to maintain awareness of surroundings. Leashed, well-behaved dogs are at the discretion of the leader. This is a front country outing.
Covid Considerations: Note that both vaccinated and unvaccinated people may be present; everyone is encouraged to keep their distance and respect each others' need to do so. Masks are optional. Please do not attend if you are ill or have reason to think you might have Covid. If you test positive for Covid within 3 days of a hike, please let us know through Meetup or by emailing GPNighthikes at gmail dot com.
