| no partners | | Griffith Peak via the South Loop Trail
Started the hike around noon. About 1.8 miles in you will reach the start of the switchbacks that lead all the way up to the ridge. Reaching Echo Overlook after the first round of switchbacks gives you an amazing view of the entire area, which only gets better the higher up you get. Plenty of ice patches were present throughout the switchbacks. Fortunately, I was able to avoid slipping and falling on all but one patch. Trekking poles definitely helped during these parts. Reaching Griffith peaks gives a great 360-degree view. I was able to see most of Las Vegas.
Since I started the hike later in the day, most of it was done in the shade. It was a little chilly but I managed just fine in a normal t-shirt. |
