Highlights include the Ennis House (a Frank Lloyd Wright design) and the Observatory. We ran across only a few people for most of the hike, but got to have one conversation with a follower of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.southerncaliforniaweatherforce.com\/\">Southern California Weather Force<\/a>, a meteorologist who predicts an &#8220;Ark Storm&#8221; hitting California sometime in the middle to second half of March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A couple of turns and climbs inside Griffith Park brought us to the base of the Observatory and its crowd of visitors from all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe src='https:\/\/connect.garmin.com\/modern\/activity\/embed\/10638519116' title='Los
