Hollywood Trail, which can be accessed from the Griffith Observatory parking lot off Vermont Canyon Road or from Vermont Canyon Road just past the Greek Theater, the Bronson Canyon / Brush Canyon Trail (3200 Canyon Drive, Los Angeles, CA), and a number of trailheads that begin near the Griffith Park Visitors Center off Crystal Springs Drive in the Los Feliz section of Los Angeles (free trail maps are available at the Visitors Center). A once-popular trailhead originating at the top of Beachwood Drive was closed by court order in April 2017. Griffith Park Mount Lee's hiking trails and fire roads are part of Griffith Park; as such it's easy to get lost and be redirected. Maps of the trails and the land around the hills should be studied before attempting to hike the area for the first time. Wildlife Wildlife around Mount Lee and the Griffith Park includes coyotes, rattlesnakes, mountain lions, variety of birds and other species. P-22, an adult mountain lion, was known to inhabit the park. An image of the cougar was captured on an automatic camera. Permanent signs on the Griffith Park Observatory deck warn of rattlesnakes in the surrounding area. Coyotes abound in Griffith Park, especially after dark.
