Take A Hike!

The STEM Environment Club
organized and sponsored a local hike into the Griffith Park Hills this May. We bussed over to the Ranger Station, received an introduction about the history of the park, and then headed out for a hike in our local mountains. The hike took us along popular trails, through the Old Zoo, and back out to Shane's Inspiration (a special park that serves children of all abilities). The highlight of the hike was the tasting of the many plants that grow naturally and locally in our hills. Many of these plants were used by the Native Americans of this region and many of which are still used today.
