Bella L. • October 27, 2017One of the most beautiful places I've been. You'll have an overwhelming overview above Los Angeles. Go there by sunset!
eric b. • August 9, 2020Wonderful collection of multiple telescopes and observatories. Lots of history and some amazing view over LA and the San Gabriel’s. Very cool on days when they are open.
Chris S. • January 3, 2016Th observatory at the top of the trail is worth a visit in its own right, but you're missing out on the experience you don't hike up the trail from the base. Feels a bit like gently storming a castle.
Let's Go • April 4, 2011Check out the observatory parking lot for a terrific view of the Hollywood sign, and channel your inner James Dean from Rebel Without A Cause, filmed here in 1955.
naveen • February 23, 2020absolutely worth it for the 360º views – start your hike from Fern Dell for a strong finish. (if you're with others that can't do the full thing, you could also head up from Griffith Observatory)
Shirlei K. • March 13, 2013Great view!!!From griffith observatory and downtown LA all the way to the ocean
