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!
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.

Erik R. • January 20, 2017Leave the city behind and explore the dusty terrain! Plenty of hiking trails, seek out the old zoo grounds, marvel at the Hollywood sign, discover the stars and city view at the Griffith Observatory.
Liliana M. • November 28, 2015Pack a picnic! Great view of the observatory and Hollywood sign. Art classes on Sunday for the kids at the art school on the campus.
Bob C. • April 15, 2011The Cafe Trails is great and I you can also do the hike to the Observatory from this area. Have fun with hike and the rest in the picnic area afterward.
