Things to do

  • Sierra Club Griffith Park Night Conditioning Hike: Meet at the Merry-Go-Round Lot #2 in Griffith Park and set out on the Sierra Club’s regular guided adventure through the park at sunset. It’s a conditioning hike, so be ready to handle hilly terrain and bring your headlamp or flashlight as it will be dark by the time you get back! Dogs on leash are welcome at the hike leader’s discretion.
