Some folks start early about 8am in the morning from Bronson Canyon Park. You can also start from the other trail heads in Griffith Park. I would suggest avoiding the neighborhood starting points.
Check out @holywood.hikes on Instagram for 25.00 they will lead you up and help you get the best photos. We did it and watched others not know where to go...was glad i had a guide
