Notes "From the picnic area you will find a bridle trail that parallels Griffith Park Drive and hike south. This portion is easy walking where you will pass the access road to the Boy's Camp. After about a mile above the old zoo site you will come upon a junction.
Turn right and climb where you will pass Water Tank #71 and continue to climb into the park's back country. Bee Rock a park landmark will be visible on your left continue on up to Vista Del Valle Drive. Turn right and walk a short distance where you will notice a trail on your left, this will take you after a short time to the base of Mt. Bell. On the summit you will find a USGS marker and the geographical center of the park." --eTreking.com, http://www.etreking.com/eTreking/Pages/GriffithPark.html#Anchor |
