Overview

This is a more remote and rugged tour of Griffith Park to show the wild backside of this massive urban wilderness. Riders start on the LA River, roll into Griffith Park, the Ranger's Station and the old Zoo, dance like Ryan Gosling at Cathy's Corner (infamous site of the "LA LA Land" dance sequence) and head to Bee Rock for sweeping views of the valley across to the San Gabriel Mountains. You get a real scale of LA wrapping around the park. We'll also hug the largest avocado tree in the USA. NOTE this ride is cooler in summer, as sun is on the other side of the hill.

    Los Angeles River Bike Path

    We stop at the car-free "Red Car Bridge", so named after the legendary Red Car Trolleys that rumbled over the L.A. River at the same spot more than 60 years ago. The new metal bridge with red stripes running down its sides is only for pedestrians and cyclists. We'll also learn about our beloved LA River, the lifeblood of Los Angeles throughout its early history, providing essential water for life in this arid region. Without this river, LA would have never existed.

    We’ll head back to the LA River, stopping by the new La Kretz Crossing, also known as the North Atwater Bridge - a cable-stayed steel pedestrian bridge that crosses the Los Angeles River, linking Griffith Park with Atwater Village. We’ll pay a visit to a special Rose Gum tree, named by the LA Times as one of 10 beloved L.A. trees that Angelenos should enjoy — and protect at all costs. This Rose Gum, from Australia, is a cousin of the eucalyptuses, but from an older family line.
