It was great! Except that the caves are closed with a wired fence. So we couldn't go through the caves like before.

A beautiful place for a light hike with a small or large group. There us plenty of parking along the street where the park is and there are s few parking lots as well. The breeze is cool in the canyon and there is plenty of shaded places at the park below to have a pic ice before or after the hike! Sadly the Caves are fenced off but there a lot of rock formations created by visitors and explorers. We added a rock to a few designs ourselves, it was a fun time! You can see the Hollywood sign from ovwe the hills as you drive up and as you're himing as well, it is worth the visit on a leisure day. Will be coming again someday soon!

It's a short 5 minute hike to the caves from the parking lot. There is limited parking so take a spot when you see one but don't park where you might get blocked because people will do it! The caves were really nice but I was much more fascinated by the surrounding cliff sides. The caves are enclosed by rough, jagged cliffs that remind me of Mordor from LOTR. I haven't seen a comment about the hike above the cliff sides so here it is: as you almost arrive to the caves, there is a short trail to the left-hand side. Once up there, you have a clear view of the Hollywood sign and hills. The trail continues to the right and it literally takes you to the top of the cliff sides so it's very steep. The trail is 5 steps away from the edge so it is incredibly dangerous! You can take a route to the left that leads you away from cliff edge so it is not as dangerous and still leads you to the top. At the top, you have a clear view of the Hollywood sign, rolling hills, and even the Griffith Observatory. There are some trails up there that may even lead up to the Observatoy but I have no idea what they're called. Again, it's dangerous so vicariously enjoy the view through the photos :) I definitely recommend the caves though.

Great trails , great hike. Caves are closed due to covid (which actually doesn't make sense). Shorter hike path due to this. Low payoff. Aim for the elevated sights

Don't think so because its rocky around there and there can be mini rock fall / mini avalanches so that's a no I think

Can you drive here it do you have to hike?

Susana Hernandez | Sep 4, 2018

You can do both. You can park and it is less than a mile hike. Or park at the observatory and it will be bout a 3 mile hike.
