Very nice video. We love to go to the Ferndell even when we are not filming. That has always been one of our favorite little hikes that does not take a lot of energy or time to enjoy. Last time we went the water levels were all real low due to the drought. Thanks so much for showing this.
Thank you! Yeah, it was nice to see the water flowing. I want to go back over to see the bird sanctuary. The first time I was there, it was definitely the saddest thing EVER in Griffith Park. You could see how cool it would be if there was water, but during the drought, the water paths were completely dry, as was the lake -- and, for sure, no birds wanted to be there, either!
Brilliant share,it lovely to know that we do not always have to travel far to be in nature.There was even a much bigger turtle at the beginning of the video.Thanks for sharing
Great video. One of the hidden gems of Griffith Park. A great weekday trip with plenty of parking and "always check" the open hours for that little cafe. Keep on. I think it's time to revisit another "stairs of hollywoodland" video. I wonder how the greenery around the stairs are doing. Also, the residents doing an incredible job "hiding' the stairways with cars, tree branches and trash cans strategically placed to fool the google street views. Shame on them because these steps were built or maintained by "us" LA county tax payers.
Thank you! This year is the Hollywood sign's 100th birthday, so you might be right about the hidden stairs. Plus one of the set of steps was closed last time, so that work might be done now, & I can kill myself a little more!
Valentino filmed scenes of The Young Rajah here in 1922....The film has been reconstructed after having been rediscovered and restored. Thanks for this video! Things have changed a bit, but it's cool know that way back then this beautiful spot was put on film.
This river stream is actually a natural spring! From water flowing underneath the earth unto this part of the spring. For thousands of years, the Tongva Native Peoples would camp around this spring oasis andvuse it as a water source or for important community meetings or spiritual gatherings.
@@JasmineApple Your welcome! Yes, these areas are a beautiful walk. I have pondered on some of my most important life decisions taking my walks here. I've been walking there since I was a boy. Me, my Aunt, younger Brother and Cousins would go there and place our hand made, paper boats to see how long each would stay afloat throughout the stream before sinking. These were our amazing childhood memories of the 80s. If you look at some of the fissures of water coming out from the walls and cracks on some of the walls, includind the water from the cave that you walked through, these are the areas where water springs naturally seep out from. I love this area. Thank you for posting your videos Jasmine! enjoy.
