Griffith Park to Rose Bowl via Chevy Chase (Round Trip)  
by Mr.Momo

The way points of this bicycle route:

Griffith Park First Parking Lot

Griffith Park to the Rose Bowl and back with good hills and low traffic. A real nice general workout ride with some of real nice scenery and neighborhoods.

Enter Los Angeles River Bike Trail

Here you can add about 6 miles by going South to Fletcher and back. A good way to wake the muscles up.

Kenneth Village

Good Bakery in this small cute neighborhood shopping area

Cute little bridge crossing the fake creek.

Glendale

You can cut up GlenOaks Blvd. straight to Chevy Chase here but it is a fairly hefty grade on that hill.

Chevy Chase Estates

Here the climb and fun begins.

The Chicken and Kebab Restaurant may have potential for a light snack.

The Summit (for this section)

Don't forget to stop and enjoy a great view of Pasadena.

Rose Bowl Aquatics Center

Water, Bathroom and a good general rest stop.

Begin a mild climb back to Chevy Chase.... but a sweet shady climb.

Return to Chevy Chase

Just a bit of a good climb to the summit, then all downhill from here.

Nibley Park

Cute little neighborhood park. Bathroom if needed.

Option: turn Right to Brand Library

A real sweet climb and Brand Library makes a good destination as well. Worth the effort.

Nasty Intersection

This is a nasty Intersection, proceed with caution... being that folks will cut you off to get to the freeway entrance.

Gay Cruising Area

Careful, and don't drop the soap!

Up into the Hills

Just a lovely wooded climb into Griffith Park.

Further into the Hills

Note, if short on time, continue forward on Griffith Park Drive, and this will take you back on a shorter route.

Mt. Hollywood Drive

This street is not of the best quality. So proceed with a bit of caution, missing pee gravel and small pot-holes. But a truly lovely ride.

Option: Observatory

Since you are here, go South, up to see the Observatory for a few minutes.

Los Feliz Blvd.

I hate Los Feliz and do everything possible to avoi. Suggest the sidewalk here to get back to Griffith Park Drive.
