Landscape Photography: Griffith Park, one of the largest city parks in the US

March 2018 · 3 min read · Los Angeles

Hey my Steemit fellows,

Today´s #lanscapephotography contest hosted by @juliank is the perfect opportunity for me to show you some of the photos I took during my last travels. I recently spent a couple of days in the vibrant Californian metropolis of Los Angeles and even though I usually prefer natural environment to urban sites, I did enjoy some parts of this huge city very much.

Located at the eastern part of the Santa Monica Mountains, the Griffith Park is definitely one the places that made the biggest impression on me. Covering a total land area of staggering 1,740 ha, it is one of the largest city parks in the US and possibly in the world too.

The Griffith Park is sometimes compared to the famous Central Park in New York City but I think these two parks cannot really be compared as the Griffith is a way more extensive, rugged and wild than its NYC counterpart.

To give you a better idea of its enormous size, let me tell you we actually spent a whole day hiking up in the hills of the park and we still only scratched the surface as we got to see just a tiny fraction of the park.

There are numerous hiking trails in the Griffith Park, ranging in length and difficulty, but there are many other activities the visitors can choose from. Once there, you can rent a bike, try horseback riding, play golf and much more.

The Griffith Park is also home to the famous Griffith Observatory, a popular tourist attraction with excellent panoramic views of the city as well as the iconic Hollywood Sign sitting on the top of the Mount Lee.

I will definitely tell you more about this amazing natural place found literally just a few miles outside the hustle and bustle of the 4-million metropolis but for now, let me just show you some photos that I took while exploring the beautiful landscape of the park.

Tak jsme opět zpátky „doma“ v Mexiku a konečně vám můžu ukázat první fotky z našeho posledního výletu. Vyrazili jsme na pár dní do Kalifornie, konkrétně do největšího města tohoto amerického státu, čtyřmilionové metropole Los Angeles. Já tedy většinou dávám přednost přírodním místům, ale musím říct, že i já jsem si během tohoto výletu přišel na své.

Místem, které se mi líbilo asi nejvíc, je Griffith Park. Tento park patří s rozlohou 1740 hektarů mezi největší městské parky v celé Severní Americe a dost možná i na světě. My jsme v něm strávili celý den a nachodili desítky kilometrů a i tak jsme viděli jen nepatrný zlomek toho, co nabízí.

Celý park je protkán bezpočtem upravených turistických tras lišících se časovou i fyzickou náročností, takže na své si tam přijde opravdu každý fanda pěší turistiky. Kromě krásné, všudypřítomné přírody si můžete téměř z každého místa vychutnávat panoramatické výhledy na město a z některých vyhlídek je také vidět legendární nápis Hollywood, který se nachází na hoře Mount Lee v západní části parku.

Další články o našem kalifornském výletu budu postupně přidávat, takže pokud vás to zajímá, sledujte můj blog :) Děkuji za pozornost a přeji hezký den.
