Item Description

A fabulous way to spend a day enjoying the great outdoors! Learn about the flora and fauna of Griffith Park from an expert. Your hiking tour for up to eight people will be led by a professional forester and former park ranger.

With more than 4,100 acres of natural terrain covered with California oak trees, wild sage and manzanita, Griffith Park is the largest municipal park and urban wilderness area in the United States. Situated in the eastern Santa Monica Mountain range, the Park's elevations range from 384 to 1,625 feet above sea level with climates varying from semi-arid chaparral foothills to forested valleys. Over the years recreational attractions have been developed throughout the Park, however an amazingly large portion of the Park remains virtually unchanged from the days when Native American villages occupied the area's lower slopes. 

Your guide is also a film liaison for the city of Los Angeles. Your group will learn many of the spots used for film locations in the park. Sons of Anarchy, Modern Family, Southland, NCIS, Bones and many more use the park for filming.

The hike takes 2 to 3 hours and is of moderate difficulty. It can be adjusted to your group's individual needs and fitness level. It is not recommended for children under the age of three.

Item Special Note

Scheduling of the tour should be done 5 to 7 days in advance. Certificate expires March 1, 2015.
