Bronson Caves. Griffith Park.

The Batcave. I've always wanted to see Bronson Caves in Bronson Canyon. It's the original Batcave from the 1960s series, Batman. Dozens of films and television series spotlight the notorious man made caves. You can still find film crews as well as photographers on set or near the site. I made a special trip last month to see Bronson Canyon. The trail was too short for my liking, but it was still a cross off my bucket list. On your way to Bronson Caves, you'll find a mini playground on your right hand side. Continue forward and you'll find a fire road heading South. Take the fire road up and around the corner until you reach your destination. The fire road usually has security patrolling the area, and it's possible to see wandering wildlife on the trail.

The road to the Batcave is about 1.5 miles roundtrip. The trail isn't as scenic as others, but you can view the iconic Hollywood Sign from the distance. Griffith park and Bronson Canyon trails are family and pet friendly. Feel free to take your children regardless of age up this trail. It's an easy, wide, even paved fire road accessible to all ages. It's also stroller friendly for all you new moms! You can walk inside the cave and take photos. The park is open from dawn until dusk. The caves are short with plenty of light to walk inside and out. If you plan on spending the day hiking LA, consider the Hollywood Sign first, but take a quick detour and start from Bronson Canyon. It's well worth the extra mile!
