We will be hiking on single track trails as well as some fire roads. The first climb is rather steep but only takes about 10 minutes. We will hike up to the Observatory where we briefly stop then cross the parking lot and proceed up to Mt Hollywood on some more single track trails for beautiful views of the city. We'll stay there for about 10 minutes.
We will then move QUICKLY back down to the Greek Theater for one last ascent to the Observatory. Then we'll return to Fern Dell.
