This is a moderately intense hike on a narrow single-track trail which ascends quickly via a steep but well used foot trail. There will be a couple rocky steps that may require the use of your hands for stability. There will be plenty of spots to take pictures of downtown LA, and all the way out to the coast as the sun begins it’s final hour into sunset. Our plan will follow the “tree of Life Trail” up to the plateau at Burbank Peak. Here’s is where we will find the “Wisdom Tree” at 1660’, an enduring LA landmark overlooking Burbank to the north, Universal Studios and the San Fernando Valley to the west, and Hollywood to the south. From here, it’s just a short 1/4 mile ridge hike up to the top of Cahuenga Peak, at 1,821’ From here, we get great westerly views as the sun sets beyond the western reaches of the San Fernando valley. We also get a great 360o panoramic views of downtown LA to the south, Glendale to the east, and Burbank to the north. All from standing behind the Hollywood sign just to the east. The hiking trail continues on to Mt. Lee and other peaks within Griffith Park, but we are already in dimming twilight so we will head back down the way we came up, now with headlamps a blazing!!!
