The Griffith Observatory – Mount Hollywood Drive loop offers a challenging and rewarding road cycling experience, taking you through the heart of Griffith Park with continuous climbs and varied terrain. You'll be treated to iconic views of the Hollywood Sign and the Griffith Observatory, with panoramic vistas stretching across the San Fernando Valley, downtown Los Angeles, and the Pacific Ocean. This moderate 25.8-mile (41.5 km) route features a substantial 2429 feet (740 metres) of elevation gain, making it a solid workout that typically takes around 2 hours and 17 minutes.
Planning your ride, be aware that this is a very popular route, especially in the mornings. While some sections of Mount Hollywood Drive are car-free, providing a more peaceful environment, other parts of the loop share the road with vehicular traffic. Road conditions can vary, with some sections featuring rough asphalt, potholes, or gravel, so stay vigilant, particularly on descents. Always check local conditions before heading out.
This loop is a quintessential Los Angeles cycling route, renowned for its blend of natural beauty and urban landmarks. Its status as a premier cycling destination is further highlighted by the fact that the Griffith Observatory will serve as the finishing point for the cycling road race and time trials during the 2028 Summer Olympics. Beyond the views, you'll pass by attractions like the Los Angeles Zoo and Travel Town, adding to the route's unique character.
