Enjoyable hike up the hill to the Griffith observatory. Harder than I thought it would be since the hill is pretty steep. But I was able to keep up & so was my 13-year old son. Took about 2 hours & was about 4 miles. Views were good but it was very foggy that day. You may want to check the weather before booking. Was a small group & our tour guide took good care of us. Bring water. We didn’t bother going into the observatory because it had a long line, the weather was foggy so the telescopes wouldn’t see much & we were exhausted.

We so enjoyed our hike with our guide, Mark, through Griffith Park and to the Observatory. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the park and characters involved. The hike itself was so beautiful and the temperature was perfect. We would not hesitate to do it again when in town.

Our tour guide Liza was friendly and thoughtful! She knows Griffith Park like the back of her hand. Be prepared that the climb is mostly uphill and there is no shade at the highest point. Bring a hat or umbrella if it's sunny.

I struggled on the way up but am so glad I kept going. Our guide, Michael, was very patient and had plenty of cold water on hand for us. He told us a bunch of interesting stories about Griffith Park, Observatory and the Hollywood sign. He also gave us a bunch of good recommendations for several places in and around Hollywood. Would highly recommend this tour.

Being new to this area of the city, I felt well guided throughout the hike. Sarah H led us up the mountain to the Griffith observatory and stopped to tell us stories along the way and offer recommendations. It was a great hike and I’d recommend it! : )
