Griffith Park
About
Griffith Park is a park in California, about 4 miles from Burbank. It sits within its own land unit, also called Griffith Park, and serves as a base for a cluster of short trails and a climbing area just a few minutes away. Spring is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Burbank show April highs around 74°F with lows near 50°F and only a few wet days. Midsummer highs there typically climb into the upper 80s. Several destinations start close by. North Trail and 3 Mile Trail are each about 0.2 miles away. Hogback Trail and the Bee Rock (Griffith Park) climbing area are both about 0.3 miles off.
