My now favorite playground & trail. Beautiful with loads of wildlife, friendly people. Just all around a lovely scenic area. Great for meditation, easy hikes, solo missions or family excursions, picnic etc!!

Although rated easy, it is a steep hike on the way up. It might be too much for some kids or folks not conditioned for this. I noticed lots of kids on the trail complaining and crying! But the views are gorgeous, especially on a clear day. Parking is hard to find, leave plenty of extra time for that.

So lovely place! Glad I found it by chance. It’s great to walk with kids here. There are a lot of exotic flowers and plants, a stream, turtles and gold fish. My whole family enjoyed the walk.

Absolutely loved every minute of this hike. Such a great destination if you live in or visit the area. There are public restrooms and parking is abundant in off peak hours so plan accordingly. We opted for before sunset rush so late mid-day, no issues getting great parking. I would do this hike again and again if I were local.

One of my favorite trails for sure. People bring their families to do this hike because It's not terribly difficult. Took me about 40 minutes up to the observatory. There are some slight inclines but it's very worth it and not super strenuous. I only really do moderate exercise so if I can do it you can do it!

Love the trail! We parked at the lot below the Observatory and took the Firebreak Trail past the Observatory then up to Mount Hollywood summit point. Wide dirt path for proper distancing with other hikers. Great view of Los Angeles and the Observatory throughout the trail. A little more than 4 miles round trip.

I love how you can take two paths, one more steep and difficult than the other, so a wider range of people can enjoy the hike. Great atmosphere. Classic hike. You get it all with this very popular hike: a steep climb, a unique view of the Hollywood sign, and a great view over LA. When you entered the building, you will absorb a lot of knowledge from tutoring(or commentators). You also can see the real chemical periodic table. This is an amazing place for people who interested in astronomy(or physics).

Great atmosphere. Classic hike. You get it all with this very popular hike: a step climb, a unique view if the Hollywood sign, and a great view over LA. There are water stations and bathrooms at the top of the hike by the Griffith Observatory.
