Tread Lightly heads to Los Angeles for the first time.

For Vol. 10, we're taking things to Griffith Park for one of the most iconic trail systems in Southern California.

We'll be starting from the Spring Canyon area, climbing up to Mount Hollywood, then looping down the backside for a route packed with city views, and just enough climbing to earn some breakfast and coffee (and probably lunch too).

Date: Saturday, 08.08.26
Where: Merry Go Round Lot Two (34.13446158266182, -118.28533669234307)
Meet: 6:00 AM • Roll Out: 6:15 AM
Distance: 8.6 miles
Elevation Gain: 1,811 ft

Yea... 6:00 AM is early. But there's a reason. We want to beat the heat, enjoy the trails before they get busy, and catch Griffith Park at its best.

Huge shoutout to our partners @electrolit for the quality hydration and @saltstick for supplying us with some extra electrolyte fast chews!

This month's route will be led by me, Chris Apodaca. SORRY! haha

Whether you're local to LA or making the drive, we'd love to have you.

Bring water, fuel, and a good attitude.

No pressure. Just steady miles, good people, and another excuse to explore somewhere new.
