>>2939680>>2941032I ended up hiking halfway up to the hollywood peak (the trail that starts from the griffith observatory). I didn't go the whole way because it was getting pretty late and I hiked all the way from Los Feliz blvd, so it was gonna be a long way back in near pitch black darkness down in the trail.
Even on a weekday, there was a ton of people at the observatory, and even saw people going up and down to the hollywood peak. Next time I'll just drive up to the observatory and start my hike from there. It's really spooky doing it from the bottom at night.
I didn't manage to get any starry night shots, the light pollution emanating even from north hollywood was pretty nuts.
