Wild Backside Tour: Griffith Park + LA River
What your day looks like
Go deeper into Griffith Park to show the extraordinary wild backside of this massive urban wilderness of over 4,200 acres. We'll glide up alongside the LA River and head into Griffith Park to the Rangers Station, swing by the old Zoo and up Cathy's Corner (site of the "LA LA Land" dance sequence) . Then head across natural chapparal-covered terrain to Beehive Rock for views of the San Gabriel Mountains. Note that this ride also is cooler in summer, as sun is on the other side of the hill.
