"Did a medium sized loop through Griffith Park. I didn’t attempt the grand loop to capture every peak in the park. Also, Bee Rock is off-limits the first 6 months of the year. Aside from that, I’ll do the Cahuenga - Mt Lee peak cluster on a separate hike next time around, since it is more convenient that way." — MikeTeeples • Apr 6, 2024

"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

"Having been to Mt Lee, Cahuenga and Burgank last year, we decided to make a big loop(ish) through the rest of Griffith Park to knock out the remaining 9 peaks of the 12 Peaklet Challenge. Ended up being a lot warmer than forecast, and with little shade, it was a sweaty day! A few of the segments off the main path to the peak are easily Class 2 scrambles, especially down from Bee Rock. We parked at the Carasel parking lot area, and started toward Beacon Hill for the peak #1 (going clockwise around the park. Then down the road to Glendale Peak. Then down Hogback Ridge Trail, to the "bump" that is Bird Bath Beak, and finally over to Mt Hollywood for some great views of Los Angeles, the Hollywood Bowl and the Hollywood sign. Off towards the Hollywood Sign area, first hitting Taco Peak, then a scramble up to Mt Bell, then little Baby Bell, and finally an "interesting" scramble up to Mt Chapel. Then down along the paved road on the north side of the park until Bee Rock. From there, another "interesting" scramble down 500' to the road that leads into the old zoo area and back to the parking lot. " — marc • Apr 7, 2019

"Mount Chapel made for an easy ascent as I worked my way back to the North Trail to descend to the parking lot where I began the morning nearly 2 hours earlier. Completed 5 peaklets in total, but certainly could have done many more if that was the plan for the day. However more destinations were ahead in other city parks before wrapping up my day." — MikeTeeples • Jun 23, 2018

"Mt. Chapel was actually pretty cool. I was stoked to find a good network of single track trals going from peak to peak all day long on this 6 peak trip. Chapel was 4 of 6 and #12 of my 100 peaks in 2014 goal. Great views from here too. I picked a day with great visibility." — 1-with-Nature • Feb 3, 2014
