If you happen to be at Griffith Park or near downtown LA you are doing yourself a disservice not going here. You get to take a little walk, see some of the city, see the coves, HUGE valleys and a VERY unique view of the Hollywood sign that actually LEGAL to go to!

Is There Shopping, Food or Novelty Museums?

There is nothing here but the trail.

How Far Is The Walk/Hike To The Destination?

The lot is right along where the trail starts. Make sure you don’t go the wrong way for twenty minutes like me and you take the Brush Canyon Trail that goes UPHILL at first. This was a little bit of a walk that took about 30 minutes to get to the caves. You will go up and down hills and then end up veering left to find the caves. On the other side of the first caves is the Hollywood Sign valley. If going through the caves freaks you out you can go around the rock hills the caves go through pretty quickly.

Is This Handicap Accessible?

No, this is a sandy and rocky path.

Is This A Family-Friendly Destination?

Absolutely! This place is a great spot to hike with the family. It’s also not very crowded and was a great way to see the caves that were in the Batman movies as well as see the Hollywood sign pretty close up and not trespass.
