Being new to this area of the city, I felt well guided throughout the hike. Sarah H led us up the mountain to the Griffith observatory and stopped to tell us stories along the way and offer recommendations. It was a great hike and I’d recommend it! : )

Mark was an amazing guide!!!! 5 stars. We learned so much about the history of California, LA, Hollywood and Griffith Park. The hike was well paced, uphill climb to start the day when we had the most energy, well timed breaks, lots of photo opportunities and bonus visit to the observatory after the tour. I highly recommend this hike and you will be in great hands if Mark is your guide!
