From the snow capped mountains to the shining sea, the view from the Griffith Observatory cannot be beat.

Timed this hike with sunset and thw views of DTLA and the snow capped San Gabriels were amazing. All the rain has this trial lush with greenery and flowers.

Go clockwise around the perimeter trail for a less intense uphill. Add on by taking some of the interior trails too.

I love to take these steps in the evening when the temps are cooler. Be sure to tale your headlamp because they aren’t well lit. From the top of the steps continue up the hill to Micheltorena St. then turn right for some great views of Los Angeles as she sparkles at night.
