"Old Zoo" Griffith Park Hike & Picnic Area


Caitie and I had fun exploring the "Old Zoo" area of Griffith Park this last week, just before sunset.  This area was literally part of the zoo back in the eighties, and animals were housed in the caves that still remain.  The zoo was redesigned to its present state, and now this area is a frequent picnic area and photography backdrop.  There are trails above the caves that go up into the park, and a green area that is used in the summer for free Shakespeare plays. 



The view of Burbank from the trail is stunning.  The park can be tactile when immersed in the foliage of the trails, yet suburban life is so close.  It's a great way to get out of your own head.  Somedays getting physical in the outdoors is just what I need, and Caitie is glad to be my companion!
