While I was down in LA over the weekend, I decided to go for a short hike at Griffith Park from my dad's house in Burbank. It initially started out as let me walk over to the park. Then I decided to hike to the top of hill where I normally go biking to. As I got closer to the top, I was telling myself that I have never hiked to the Hollywood sign, and what better time to do it. Nevermind that I started out with 1 small bottle of water with no food in a 95 degree weather.
All in all, I ended up hiking 11.2 miles, and barely survived. I ran out of water 5 miles into it, even though, I was pacing myself. No shade and 95 degrees played havok; however, it ended up being a great hike.
Details of the hike:
A view of the Hollywood Sign from the lookout point. When I got there, I found out that you can hike to the backside of the sign by the radar tower.
A quick #selfie...I was sweating furiously due to the heat and I ran out of water few miles back by this time. But off I go to the radio tower, in the background.
Reached the back side of the Hollywood Sign.
After the hike, I needed lots of water and some cold food, 동치미국수 from 길목.
