Griffith Observatory

We don't rate places, roads or trails as safe or unsafe: crash counts can't say how risky a ride is, and places riders like draw more riders, so they see more crashes. The records here are also incomplete: most nearby reports are filed under Glendale, where only 50% of reported bike crashes have a map location, so the numbers here are too low. What the records show: no bike crashes were reported within a mile of Griffith Observatory from 2021–2025. Car-free paths nearby: Los Angeles River Bike Path.
