I climbed to the top of a hill in Griffith Park (in Los Angeles) today. I'm not sure if it's mount Hollywood... At any rate, it has this one tree on it that is visible for miles around. I would always see it as I drive home from work and I kept thinking it would be nice to go up there and take some photographs. So of course when the weather is hovering near 100 degrees, I finally decide to climb the stupid hill.
A pair of hikers coming down the hill gave me an extra bottle of water (I had enough, but the extra bottle was nice). Anyway, it was nice to view hot, hazy Los Angeles from a high vantage point.
