Come join us for a no rush casual hike! The Griffith Park hikes start
in the Merry Go Round parking lot (otherwise known as lot #2) off
Crystal Springs drive.Hikes run about 2-2.5 hours and are about 4-5
miles long. We walk at a casual pace but it will be at times a good
work out. We go up and down some steep hills but always stay on the
trail. Bring walking shoes and water. Dogs on leash welcome. Note:
This is not a "flat" hike and there will be some hills involved!
From the 134 westbound get off at Zoo Dr (street will curve around
back under freeway), follow it until you are literally facing the zoo
parking lot at the stop sign..turn left ..zoo will be on your right as
you head south past the Autry museum. Continue past golf course. You
will come to a four way stop with ranger station on left and a Merry
Go Round sign. Turn RIGHT and proceed to end of street. You will have
to make a right here. Go thru this first lot. This is lot #1. Keep
going thru lot and over a small hill on road until you come to lot #2.
You will see some people parked and standing around. We meet on the
south end.
Alternatively, you can get off at Forest Lawn Dr from the 134 (head
south) and turn left at Travel Town, making your way (south) around
the zoo and south onto Crystal Springs.
If you are coming from Los Feliz Blvd, turn north on Crystal Springs
Dr. past pony rides, along road until you get to the stop sign with
Ranger station on the right and Merry Go Round sign. Turn LEFT here
til the end of the road. Make a right, this is lot #1. Continue thru
this lot and over a small hill until you get to lot #2. You will
probably see some people parked and out of their cars already. If you
get lost, please text me at[masked]. Allow some extra time if this is
your first time finding this lot!
There are restrooms a short walk down the hill when you park on the
south end of lot #2, located right across from the Merry Go Round.
