"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
"1.6 miles 1-way w/450' gain, 100' loss from Vermont Cyn Rd TH, ~1,000 yds from Greek Theatre. Trails: East Ridge - Bridge - Henry's Trail to the benchmark on the peak. Continued from Glendale peak to nearby Beacon Hill(1,001')." — BradStemm • Aug 4, 2013
