What To Expect

Griffith Park

Secret tunnels and trails abound in the wild backside of Griffith Park. A vast, wild, mostly untouched mountainous landscape of roughly 4,210 acres smack in the center of our urban metropolis, Griffith Park is 5 times the size of New York's Central Park. Riders can encounter native wildlife (bobcats anyone?), hikers, horse riders and more! Designated as an Historic-Cultural Monument (HCM) and the largest municipal park with urban wilderness in the United States, the park’s natural chapparal-covered terrain and manicured picnic areas is also home to the Los Angeles Zoo, the Autry Museum of the American West, the Griffith Observatory, and the Hollywood Sign - ALL of which you'll see on this ride

Autry Museum of the American West

We'll stop at this historic museum founded by Hollywood’s singing cowboy Gene Autry, a 36,000-square foot complex with over 500,000 works of art and artifacts from the American frontier plus cool Western film memorabilia - from the pistols used by Steve McQueen to costumes from 2005’s Brokeback Mountain. There’s even a replica movie set of an Old Western town with storefronts. (Little-known fact: The first-ever feature-length movie filmed in Hollywood was a Western—the 1914 silent film The Squaw Man, directed by Cecil B. DeMille. The camera used to film it is here, too.)

Los Angeles Zoo & Botanical Gardens

We stop for a photo opp in front of the massive steel gates at the landmark L.A. Zoo, which is home to thousands of animals – including one of the largest troops of chimpanzees in North America. Fun Fact: There’s a dedicated Zoo Magnet High School nearby offering 300 students a college preparatory curriculum focused on animal studies and biological sciences.

Travel Town

We ride right into Travel Town's "railroad petting zoo," and explore all the trains, big and small, along with the Museum and its fascinating history. Founded in the 1940s as an opportunity for the children of Los Angeles to "imagineer" themselves as engineers you'll find vintage automobiles as well as locomotives and freight cars.

Hollywood Sign

There are several opportunities for our riders to view the Hollywood Sign. Once from Griffith Observatory, and the others from deeper inside the park, most memorably on a secret trailhead our founder Gavin has nicknamed “Rockin' Ridge” because it's such a rockin view!

Griffith Observatory

The magnificent jewel of LA. We ride right up to the Observatory's entrance like a VIP skipping the line, gliding right past parked cars and pedestrians puffing uphill, park the bikes and enjoy walking around the grounds, made famous in dozens of movies including “La La Land,” “Jurassic Park,” “Back to the Future,” “Terminator” and “Transformers". A bronze bust of James Dean immortalizes the filming of "Rebel Without a Cause." Enjoy panoramic views of the Los Angeles basin and Catalina Island plus coin operated telescopes. Perched on Mt Hollywood overlooking the glittering LA skyline and Hollywood Sign, the art-deco era Observatory is almost as iconic as the Hollywood sign.

The Greek Theatre

We stop for a photo opp in the front of the historic Greek Theatre, which stands as one of the nation's most beloved and recognized outdoor entertainment. First opened in 1930, the Greek has played host to some of the biggest legends in music – from Sir Elton John, Aretha Franklin, Frank Sinatra, Bruce Springsteen, Carlos Santana, Jefferson Airplane, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, Pete Seeger, B.B. King, Miles Davis, Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt and many more. Between 1967 and 1989, The Grateful Dead performed 29 times at the Greek.

Los Feliz

We exit the park into quiet, hillside residential streets of Los Feliz, known as the birthplace of one of California’s most iconic celebrities: Mickey Mouse. Walt Disney was living in the garage of his aunt and uncle’s Los Feliz house when he first drew the character that would become the world’s best-known mouse. He would later open his first animation studio just down the street.

Los Angeles River Bike Path

We’ll head back to the LA River, stopping by the new La Kretz Crossing, also known as the North Atwater Bridge - a cable-stayed steel pedestrian bridge that crosses the Los Angeles River, linking Griffith Park with Atwater Village. We’ll ride down LA River, past equestrian stables, to another smaller bridge at Sunnynook known as "Love Lock Bridge" where visitors have attach personalized padlocks to its railing, like it’s more famous Parisian cousin.
