Description

Trail run to the fabled Hollywood sign high up in the Hollywood hills in Griffith Park. We essentially followed Mick Mc’s route, which I had uploaded to my GPS but sidetracked here and there. Overall this worked out pretty well – a nice combination of orienteering and trail running! Substract 200 ft or so from the elevation gain as my Vista did some inital recalibration (see the ‘jump’ in the beginning of the elevation profile, which is obviously not real).
