Editorial Review for Griffith Park – by Stephanie L. Smith
In Short
Ride off into the sunset for margaritas and romance, or delight the kiddies with a pony ride. Have a picnic or barbecue amid oak trees and dancing shadows in Ferndell Canyon or pick up a few extra strokes on either of the two golf courses. Explore the Bronson Caves or take a leisurely ride on the merry-go-round. Coo at baby animals at the zoo or stroll through the aviary that sports as much shade as sparrows. Take time to explore these beautiful settings too often overlooked by locals. Who knew L.A. could be so natural?

The Sierra Club meets here every Tuesday and Thursday for Night Hikes. I can't recommend this enough. Since moving to the area, I've been coming here almost every week and love it! Summer's obviously better as it's lighter later at night, but there are five (rarely six) levels of hiking. It's very beautiful here and I've hiked all over the park, walked through it, picnicked, and even ridden horses through it. It's awesome.
