Griffith Park, one of the largest US public parks with over 4,210 acres, is located northwest of downtown Los Angeles. Despite its proximity to the city, it feels like a world away! Attractions including the Griffith Observatory, Hollywood Sign, Greek Theatre, and LA Zoo make it easy to spend an entire day exploring.
I visited Griffith Park with my siblings one cloudy Saturday morning before a family wedding. Our main goal was to hike and see the Hollywood Sign. We started by visiting the Griffith Observatory, hoping the sky would clear up. Unfortunately, it didn’t. Although we didn’t get the clear view we wanted, we still enjoyed hiking and exploring somewhere new. I definitely recommend it!
