"Climbed to Burbank Peak and then took the Aileen Getty Ridge Trail to Mount Lee. Once you reach the memorial markers across from Mount Lee, retrace your steps a bit to the trail downward to access the paved road to the top of Mount Lee. Burbank Peak and Mount Lee have 'crowds' but Cahuenga Peak in the middle is sadly overlooked in its beauty and views. Done as an out-and-back. Beautiful hike, the recent rains have made everything so green and lush in a way I haven't seen in years. One washed out area if you're taking the steep climb up via Wonder View Drive. The treasure chest and journals are no longer there, which is disappointing. The Ridge Trail had some difficult, rocky areas, but with care and patience they were easily passed." — zemthings • Jan 21, 2023

"We started out at 8 AM at a parking lot near the Merry-Go-Round. Then we went up of small use trail to Beacon Hill. The trail was very steep and rocky. The view from Beacon Hill is just okay. We saw a coyote on the summit. Then we went to Joe Klass Water stop. We saw a water tank and some great views of Los Angeles. Then we went around Glendale Peak on the Hogback Trail and then summited Glendale Peak via the Henry's Trail, the summit had great views and a benchmark. Then we went down the Riverside trail for a challenge and then climbed up a steep hill and a use trail that was loose and then went to the top of Hogback Peak (Bird Bath Peak), and it has great views fro it. Then went over to Mt Hollywood and then summited it. The summit was popular and had a summit plaque, and info signs and a benchmark. Then descended the summit to summit Taco Peak, Mt Baby Bell, and Mt Bell. Taco Peak had a concrete thing on top, Mt Bell has great views and benchmark, Mt Baby Bell was disappointing, and then we climbed up to Mt Chapel. The summit of Mt Chapel had great views and a benchmark. Then we climbed over to Mt Lee and then saw the Hollywood sign. Then we climbed down to summit Burbank and Ca..." — lc444 • Dec 19, 2022

"Started out at 9 AM (late) and started up the Wonder View Trail. Then after crossing under the gate we made it to the actual trailhead. After that climbed up the steep trail to Burbank Peak. After enjoying the summit flag and the Wisdom Tree, saw the summit benchmark and the view. After that climbed on the ridge for awile turned down a spur and summited Little Cahuenga Peak. Went back up to summit the OG Cahuenga Peak. It had 4 benchmarks and some great views. Climbed down from the summit of Cahuenga through a small forest and scrambled down. After a small backbone, climbed up to some overlook with a plaques. Then descended to Mt Lee road and climbed to the top of Mt Lee (the Hollywood sign) and enjoyed the views for a bit. After that climbed down." — lc444 • Oct 25, 2022

"Hiked up to visit the Wisdom Tree and then continued on to Cahuenga Peak and Hollywood Sign, finishing with the loop around to valley overlook. Thought my hiking shoes were in the trunk but alas were not, leaving the flip flops on my feet as my only option other than a barefoot hike. Not too bad, just very dirty feet by the end." — jodola • May 30, 2022

"Hiked up Burbank Peak to see the legendary wisdom tree; the only surviving tree on that section of the mountain from the Griffith Park wildfires a few years back. We hit it on a Sunday afternoon; lots of people. You definately know that you're in the middle of LA. YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/E_xDRCE8b4g" — MosquitoFood • Feb 23, 2020

"Was just looking for a quick hike and decided this was it. Was a little too hot, but went for it anyway. Awesome panoramic views of San Fernando Valley and all of LA. We will definitely be back to this one again!" — DoyleWalton • Sep 15, 2018

"A lot of hikers, but not too crowded. Parking at 9:30am was decent, but by the time we finished at 11:30, there wasn't much left. Hike itself, while not long, is steep. Rocks serve more as stairs. Recommend having hiking shoes or something with grippy soles for going down! Views of Hollywood at the top were not disappointing either!" — marc • May 20, 2018

"Another great hike with 3H (Hiking for Health and Happiness), who join forces with the hiking group 213 and others to lead a pre-new years eve day hike. I had a lot of fun hiking with my friends and meeting literally dozens of others who have become friends. The ultimate goal of this hike was to celebrate the last day of the year at the Wisdom Tree on Burbank Peak." — Philip-Yoho • Dec 31, 2017

"After a long hiking hiatus, I decided to get the party started once again. I began by bagging three peaks in one hike. I had been up Mount Lee before, but two other peaks got added onto the Griffith Park acreage in recent years. They are Burbank Peak and Cahuenga Peak. A trail that I recently became aware of (but has probably been there forever), called the Wonder View Trail, connects all three summits. Mission accomplished. 3 miles R/T with an approximate 800' elevation gain." — MikeTeeples • Jun 4, 2017

"Peak 3 of 6 today with great visibility! Peak #11 of my 100 in 2014 Goal. I love it up here. My buddy and I Climbed the Tree and smoked a Fat joint. He left some homegrown bud up there in the summit box which at the time was a suitcase... someone also hiked up a big whicket chair for under the tree but its a little beat up. My buddy still used it though." — 1-with-Nature • Feb 3, 2014
