This Griffith Park run starts at the pony rides and keyholes to the Hollywood sign and back. Exit Interstate5 at Los Feliz, turn left on Los Feliz blvd., then right on Crystal Springs Road. Park on the right, near the pony rides. It is mainly fireroad with some single track with beautiful city views.  The trail head has restrooms, water, a snack bar and pony rides.  The actual trail head to the Lower Beacon Trail is across Griffith Park Blvd and up the hill.
