sunday night hike

About this event

Intermediate++ / Advanced conditioning hike Join us for a challenging but fun Sunday evening hike in Griffith Park. Expect steep climbs, rugged trails, great views, and sometimes exploratory sections or light rock scrambling. This hike is best for experienced hikers who are comfortable with sustained uphill climbs, steep grades, uneven terrain, and a brisk pace. Typical hikes are about 4–6 miles with 1,200–2,000 feet of elevation gain and usually take around 3 hours. Please come prepared with: • At least 2 liters of water • Hiking shoes with good traction • Sun protection • Long pants or sleeves when appropriate • Trekking poles if you use them We will keep a steady pace and stay together as a group. Please make sure the distance, elevation gain, terrain, and pace are a good match for your current fitness level before signing up. These hikes are meant to be a strong workout, but also a chance to explore, enjoy the views, and have fun with a great group of hikers. 🥾🌄 Arrival & RSVP Please arrive 10–15 minutes early.
