Tisch West Griffith Park Hike: Hogback Trail to Henry's Trail

Join your fellow NYU Tisch West alumni on an awesome beginner-level hike at Griffith Park! Come out and enjoy the beautiful views while getting to know members of the West coast NYU community.

Hikers will gather outside the front gates of the Greek Theater approximately 15 minutes before the hike to quick stretch and introduce ourselves (wear your NYU gear). From there the group will cross the street up the trailhead for the Hogback Trail. The hike along the trail takes around 30 minutes until it meets Henry's Trail. Following Henry's Trail will take the hike group up to the Glendale Peak and all the marvelous sights it has to offer! The descent will follow the reverse path the hike group used on the climb up. This is another beginner-level hike, so even inexperienced hikers will have a great time along the way!

The hike itself should take a little over an hour including the ascent, some time at Glendale Peak for pictures, and the walk back down. After the hike has concluded there are some picnic tables near the trailhead where the hike group can gather to cool down and chat (approx. 20-30 min). Franklin's Cafe is also newly re-opened, so if any of the hikers did not remember to bring a snack, this is a great place to gather and have a bite to eat!
