It depends on your canine companion as to whether this hike is strenuous or just a walk in the park. For my Bulldog, Miley we mostly stick to the more level areas. However if you have a breed who's less bronchial challenged, then you most likely can make the whole trail. I'd bring plenty of water, especially this time of the year. Along with sunscreen and snacks of course :) Keep an eye out for snakes, although I have yet to see any there. Now watch, I'll see one. I always pack a small medical kit for animals and thankfully I've never had to use it for her, but I have provided some items to others.

The great thing about Griffith Park is the variety of trails, shade offered and that feeling of being out of the city when you are actually right in the middle. Miley and I sometimes stop at the cafe for a bite to eat and so she can hydrate.
