Griffith Park

“I have a lot to say. First: I hate Runyon Canyon. Desperate for free third space? Griffith Park. Haven’t touched grass this week? Griffith Park. Have an idea for a big gathering but not the space? Griffith Park. I love Griffith park. had my 25th bday party there. I’ve walked basically 70% of the trails over two years but still somehow find Mario-Kart esque secret new paths every time I go. PRO TIP: (seriously please do not tell the mainstream media, but) I park in the uppermost parking lot of the golf course at the back of the park, closer to the valley. Totally free, very safe, and directly connected to a trail head.”

“It’s the largest municipal park with an urban wilderness area in the United States. Lots of great hiking & wildlife, The LA Zoo & Autry Museum of Western Heritage, and bumps up against Burbank, Hollywood, and Los Feliz, so a scenic alternative to freeways when you’re traveling between those areas.”

“A hike in Griffith Park starts any day off on the right foot.”
