Bronson Canyon-Griffith Park los-angeles USA

Depending on your attire and mobility, you can experience a few things at Bronson Canyon. If you are with your family and you don't want that strenuous of a walk, the tunnel itself is a quick walk up a wide, easily traversed dirt road. I believe that you could even get a wheelchair to the tunnel with a bit of work (it is up a hill and there are bits of gravel here and there). If you are, however, willing to put in some hard work and are wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, Bronson Canyon has one of the best panoramic views of Los Angeles up the sharp incline surrounding the tunnel. You are able to see the Hollywood Sign, the Griffith Observatory, the ocean, downtown L.A., and surrounding cities. It's also quite peaceful up at the top. It's quite strenuous, so not many people do it. I've been twice now and it has been totally worth it. I will repeat, though, do not do this if you aren't ready for sharp inclines, being next to a cliff face, or sliding back down next to the cliff face when you're done. Although I have done this in shoes that did not have any traction, I do not recommend it. Overall, it's an amazing place that can be experienced in different ways by all kinds of people. Have fun!

I wish I had arrived earlier as the park closes at sunset and opens at sunrise. And they lock the very tall gate at sunset and you do not want to be stuck there after night fall with wild coyotes. You can either park for free in the park at the parkinglots provided or outside the gate on the street. The park is beautiful and has a few trails that lead very far. I was trying to walk an hour and a half to the Hollywood sign but I did not have enough time. Lots of families go there and there and people with pets. Its a very pleasant place to hike at or just hang out. I cannot wait to return and explore the trails further.

Beautiful! Was told the caves were the original Batcave in the 1960s series.

Easy hike with about 2.5 miles to get to the Hollywood sign. The first part is pretty steep but it eases out in the second part. We went on a Saturday morning and arrived at the tail head at 7:00am when there was plenty of parking spots. When we get back down around 10, the parking was overflown even out on to the street. Recommend arrive early if you don't wanna deal with looking for parking.

A very good hike. Mostly long, winding, inclines all the way up. There are lots of branch off trails, however the most popular is the one that travels up behind the Hollywood sign. I did venture off into a few tighter, smaller, aggressive trails only to indefinitely encounter rattlesnakes. Also watch out for water runoff areas that can be mistaken for one of these smaller trails. I went down one only to come upon a steep vertical drop. Had to turn around. There are also horse tours that go up so watch for manure.
