Bring water, snacks, and a flash light - cider will be provided.

Carousel to the Stars is just a clever name for this pleasant and scenic light-to-moderate hike from the eastern side of Griffith Park to the center point peak Mt. Hollywood which sits behind the Griffith Observatory.

Sunset Hike - Vital Link September 8

Back in action for a late summer sunset hike, the Brand Ramblers return to the Vital Link trail and hope for cool evening breeze.

We'll depart from the Wildwood Canyon parking lot at 5:30 PM and ascend to the Verdugos' ridge line and lookout. be sure and bring plenty to drink as this trail can be a real work out. Cider and snacks will be shared at the summit (and possibly at the halfway point if some of the party elect to forgo the summit).
