Overview

This is a more remote and rugged tour of Griffith Park to show the wild backside of this massive urban wilderness. Riders start on the LA River, roll into Griffith Park, the Ranger's Station and the old Zoo, dance like Ryan Gosling at Cathy's Corner (infamous site of the "LA LA Land" dance sequence) and head to Bee Rock for sweeping views of the valley across to the San Gabriel Mountains. You get a real scale of LA wrapping around the park. We'll also hug the largest avocado tree in the USA. NOTE this ride is cooler in summer, as sun is on the other side of the hill.

The new metal bridge with red stripes running down its sides is only for pedestrians and cyclists. We'll also learn about our beloved LA River, the lifeblood of Los Angeles throughout its early history, providing essential water for life in this arid region. Without this river, LA would have never existed.

We’ll then stop at The Notch, which overlook Hollywoods, WeHo (West Hollywood) Palos Verdes, Santa Moncia, Century City. On a clear day you can also see Catalina Island, the Pacific Ocean and Santa Barbara. Here we’ll veer off to Del Valley Vista Drive headed for Beehive Rock and other mega vistas of LA. We’ll stop at Cedar Grove, a local micro-forest that attracts Hollywood hikers to explore its unexpected, woodsy wildlife. Located on a low-profile Los Feliz hillside, this hidden gem offers sweeping city views of Glendale to Downtown, and Hollywood to the sea.

We’ll head back to the LA River, stopping by the new La Kretz Crossing, also known as the North Atwater Bridge - a cable-stayed steel pedestrian bridge that crosses the Los Angeles River, linking Griffith Park with Atwater Village. We’ll pay a visit to a special Rose Gum tree, named by the LA Times as one of 10 beloved L.A. trees that Angelenos should enjoy — and protect at all costs. This Rose Gum, from Australia, is a cousin of the eucalyptuses, but from an older family line.
