The Abandoned Mountain Top Pool In Griffith Park 

This was a fun adventure . When you get done watching it go check out my friend Count Stankus video at the Batcave we did immediately after this experience ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mwi9sdyv-pw.html

I wonder if they know the history of this pool (as he didn't mention it in the video). For those who don't, this was the pool that belonged to my childhood camp "Griffith Park Boys Camp". The camp later built a new pool right on property, however, we spent many years hiking up to this infamous pool as part of our camp experience.

WOW- I used to swim in this pool in the 70's all the time first as a camper at Griffith Park Boys Camp and then when I worked there for many years- it was a great pool and very refreshing after the long hike to it- thx for bringing back such memories!!

Awesome explore I love little hidden gems like this.

Robin Sawyer, you are absolutely right. This pool was part of the Griffith Park Boys Camp where I worked as a counselor from '70 to '72. Great memories! Lots of other guys worked here as well during the summer.

HI Adam! from what Ive learned that pool was part of the Griffith Park Boys Camp, and the easiest way to get to the pool is through the camp, not the way you took, lol. But your adventure was entertaining for sure! Great video!

Loved it..... I have meant to tell you in the last few videos.... you look so much better than when you were ending the daily vlogs.... I think a lot of us were worried about your health at that time. Now you look so much more relaxed, and just healthier in general. As always, thank you for sharing time and more importantly yourself with us. *THANK YOU, WOO!*

*Oh Yeah* so good to see you so often now. Always enjoy new videos from you. Keep em coming Adam. XD

Fascinating to see this, thanks for sharing. Loving the content at the moment!

Ahoy Adam and Count Stankus!! Wow! That park is full of surprises! Lol! I got out of breath just watching you guys walk up those hills! Great vlog!

Kudos woo and count. Another great adventure. Thanks

Love your Los Angeles vlogs! Keep them up!

I guess there was easier access to the pool back in the day? Seems so random to have a pool so isolated like that! Also, that honeycomb is an amazing find! I remember a show called “Billy the Exterminator” who would cut out beehives like that from people’s houses!

Count stankus and Adam the Woo you cant get any better than this duo. Great video! Im glad none of you were stung that would have been horrible. Have a wonderful day

😲😄Cant believe as many times ive been there and always learning from about Griffith & its history, no one talked about a pool! True exploring genius Adam, thanks for sharing..i appreciate it and hope i can find someone to drag along this hike!😥now its a must do with the Hollywood sign hike!

Hey Adam! Enjoyed your Vlog and great to see Countstankus in your Vlog at the Abandoned pool! I will be watching out for your next adventure Vlogs.

Crazy what a pool doing here? Thanks Adam! 😀

I lived in Los Angeles for many years and missed some of this stuff, Thank You Adam!............

Hahaha the thumbnail part made me laugh. I’m glad you came back with more videos. I personally enjoy them a lot. Keep them coming

Very cool Adam! 😎 I enjoy watching your vlogs! Keep up the great work!

I happy to see you two "pooling" together for more videos!

Love you and your treks Adam-keep on "trekkin' and we'll keep on watchin'!

Love your videos, Adam. Always feel like😃😄😁😉when realizing a new one is available.

You always bring calm and happy to my life! 😊 keep doing what you do!! Thank you for being you!

Hey Adam, I have been watching your videos for about a year and I love them. I hope you choose to stay with them if you are passionate about them. I would love to experience the adventures you have. I know there is lots of negative people out there but you have many many fans that care about you. Thank you for all you do , your a great person.

I always enjoy these nature hikes with my morning coffee. The parks and nature trails surrounding Los Angeles are spectacular as well as beautiful. Thanks Adam 'the' Woo.

Checking out all of your California videos for POI. Will be taking a family road trip to California from Texas. Awesome videos man.

Whatever you do, Don’t look down! Awesome video as always buddy!

Thanks to those who added some history about the pool in the comments. I was wondering why anyone built a pool so out of the way. Funny about those steps built in here and there along the way. Must have connected to the Boys Camp somewhere. Enjoyed the video, thanks Adam.

Thank you woooo for another great video, it's like Christmas for me waking up to your new videos!!!!

Thanks for another upload enjoyed as always!

Cool vlog Adam. Just came across your vids about a month ago and I've been watching as many as I can. Love them especially the 80's/Back to the Future stuff!!! Awsome... just awesome!!!

Thanks so much for going up there and documenting that, Adam. Glad to have the Daily Woo back again!

Awesome video as always Adam! Love your adventures and your humor! I was watching your video on the locations of National Lampoon's Vacation the other day and absolutely love the song in it! You should make THAT your theme song for all of your videos! Anytime I see your videos or see you in Justin Scarred's video that song plays in my head! Lol! Keep up tje great work brother!

It's great to have you back Adam 👍

Wow! Never knew. Thanks for showing. Love that you are back.

Loved this episode. As a paranormal investigator I love it when somebody discovers locations like this.

Hello Adam! Good to see you are not wandering around in a remote area all by yourself today. Bees, especially disturbed bees in a hive are bad enough, but, I think having a random encounter with P-22, the resident mountain lion of Griffith Park, would be far worse!

This is why I’m never moving out of Los Angeles. Within two hours of Big Bear, beaches and all the hiking you could ever want.

Great post. I am researching the social history of swimming pools and I used to hike Griffith Park daily in the late 1980's--I had never seen this, so of course I loved it. I watched a later posting of this area and the graffiti sadly, has increased since your post.

Interesting.Never knew about that pool. I thought I knew this park like the back of my hand. There was another pool higher up behind the Hollywood sign on the flat part of Mt Lee that the great film pioneer Mack Sennett leveled off to build a huge mansion that would have been the largest in LA at that time. It included a large pool with sandy beach. The crash of 1929 depleted his funds and house was never completed.

Very cool hike to a very cool pool. It’s funny how much we love abandoned things.

More Count Stankus.... Count Stankus Rocks!

Ahhh the triple Lindy! I didn't see anything honey, you're perfect! I swear we have the exact same taste in movies. Gotta go Back to School. Great vlog.

good morning adam! Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your live blog down Hollywood Blvd, its very cool when something has not been edited because everything is so unexpected! Hope you do another one soon!

i watched count stankus 's video from the cave i liked it very cool, that pool was impressive most impressive

Awesome as always brother!!!

Thanks Adam, safe travels!

Great journey! What an adventure! Thanks!

Love Count Stankus

Awesome video, wish there was some history of it.. Back in the day that place might of been even harder to reach, and its well constructed enough to have stood the test of time.

When I was a kid, I went to Griffith Park Boys Camp, and this was the pool at the time. We'd walk up the trail to it. I was there in the late 60's early 70's. If you notice at the old entrance, there's a square. That square contained water with higher chorine in it, and you had to step into it before you went into the pool. I was told (unknown if true) it was a relic from when polio was an issue. I think it was just because boys have stinky feet.

That’s the “Old Pool” at Griffith Park boys camp. Whenever they hire new people, the older people usually go up there on the first training night to hang out. We went up there just to chill, nothing haunted about it, we went there around 10-midnight, beautiful place at night, great way to start the training week. Just hiking with a bunch of coworkers/friends and enjoying the view once you get there :)

Nice 👍🏻 adventure around the old Griffith Park. There’s so much to explore in LA. 😺

That was great, Adam! Love seeing you and your adventures more often!!! 💓 What the heck was up with those puffer fish!!!!

Awesome video! That was quite a hike. Thank you.

Cool place Adam!!!!

Adam, love your videos! I am at East Coast transplant from Los Angeles. One request, please if you're going to hike the hills of Los Angeles get some decent hiking boots. Also there are rattlesnakes, scorpions, millipedes not to mention ticks all over the hills. Have fun but take care my friend!

I thoroughly enjoyed this.

Those bees remind me of trailer town. When you and beth vandal went to. Have a great day☺

Nice to see you back Adam!! Hoping to go do the hike up to the sign in a few weeks.

I love ❤️ this kind of vlog! Thanks for sharing!

You think there's snakes in there..? YES...!! Hahaha !! Adam and Count Stankus y'all made me laugh several times in this video. Y'all are so funny !! Great find , but I can't believe y'all made it all the way up there . I bet it was a beautiful place to go swimming back in the day . So sad about all of the fires. I was thinking about all of those poor people and the wild animals too. Thanks for all of your hard work and sharing this video Adam the Woo and Count Stankus !! Great job guys !!

Glad to see you back in action Adam, I missed you old friend.

I love the abandoned places vlogs! It's how i first discovered Adam! Keep up the awesome work man!

Hi, Adam Nice video. Those berries (pomes) appear to be from a toyon and, if so, can be eaten but I wouldn’t recommend it. Another thumbs up!!

Keep it up Adam. Your videos are so cool

Welcome back Adam. Great video as usual 👌🇨🇦

I so enjoy...starting my day with my mr. woo!😊

Great vlog would never seen this otherwise . 👍

Hey Adam! About those funny looking things at the end of your video, all you have to do to find out what they are is to poke them with a very, very long stick. LOL I grew up in the middle of the Mojave desert (Ridgecrest, China Lake) and as a kid I was always exploring the desert, and I poked a lot of things with a very long stick. I am afraid I still do that as an adult. Anyway, if the thing was alive and it started to attack you all you have to do is throw the stick at it and run away! I love your videos, and was having a bad day until I saw this one. Thank you! And thank you for the hard work (hiking!) for bringing it to us. Stay safe. Much love to you!!!

I think you have a gift. And that is why you put together awesome videos. Thank you

Love you Adam!

Another awesome video you never seize to amaze us count stinkus is hilarious

Love you Adam!! So glad you're making videos again.

Thanks Adam. Good to see you!

So happy you are back. Didn't realise till now. Yasssshhh

Before you asked about the poison ivy I was thinking that. When you went to Spawn Ranch there is caves there also. Poison ivy is all over there. All my years in LA, and I never heard of that pool. Great video as always Adam, thank you!!!

You found Tom Cruise's fountain of youth. Now you shall stay young forever. You already do all your own stunts.

Great Vlog!!! It's soooo fun to explore Los Angeles! I will be there in June during the "June Gloom"! I love the marine layer all the way inland to Corona.

Glad to see you & the Count back together! Who was smart enough to bring lunch?

Great video and good to see the Count. The bees were attracted to the water.

I have said this before many times Adam. You have basically taken a hand off(cheesy football reference) from Huell Howser and done very well with your Vlogs. I miss him dearly but your work has helped fill the void since he passed. Great Work ! Keep it up !!

Wow, that was quite the trek, great view as well. Glad you didn't get stung up by the bees! Thanks to you Count Stankus for risking your lives for the vlog! LOL

So cool, awesome Adam

Count Stankus! Chill walk vid. I liked it.

HELLO ADAM GREAT TO SEE U AGAIN ON A SEMI REGULAR BASES TKS

Thank you Adam, you made my day better.

Keep up the great work Adam

Very cool place, but very creepy. I can just imagine how nice it was back in the day. I would not want to be there at night. Great vlog!

That would have been a really cool place for a swim back in the day. I can't believe Count Stankus had the opportunity to do a Short Round Temple of Doom reference crossing the bridge but completely missed it.

very cool find.

Hi Adam,great video sir,at least you didn't run into big the foot.

Excellent view

Beautiful

Wow...I had no idea about this place. It's cool to be one of a few to document something. I did something similar in Carbon Canyon on the old hot springs and ski resort. I might have to check this place out soon.

That was a beautiful hive. Is was likely wild honey bee honeycomb and a hive that size would likely house 10,000-20,000 bees. During the day about 2/3 of them would be out foraging. Honey bees are relatively harmless unless you do something to piss them off. I'm a novice bee keeper and the only time I've been stung is when one mistakenly flew up my pant leg. Cool video!

Love Count Stankus!!

I went to that pool.when i was a kid growing up.in Wilmington ca our school summer trip took me and some 30 kids i was about 11 years old im now 71 years old around 1960 it was summer and hot we went swimming we had a hike to get there after our bus park it was so much fun the only thing we missed was an ice cold cocacola soda and hamburger

Hey Adam!! This was fun to watch. I did feel tired watching y'all make it up to the top. Amazing views up there. That would of been so amazing to have been able to swim up there with those views. How long was the trek up there? Good thing no snakes crawled out. Love you Adam!!
