Griffith Park is a popular hiking destination in Los Angeles but few people know that in the middle of it all there's an Abandoned Pool.
The Pool was originally build in the 1920s for a girls camp, in the 1950s the camp was destroyed by a fire, not the pool however. A new boys camp was built lower on the hill, a girls camp as well but further west.
Since the pool wasn't destroyed by the fire it was still used by the new camp into the 1980s
Im glad i took the day off to go on a hike with my childhood friend and be out in nature, my happy place. As I was walking around the pool, covered in graffiti, my friend sitting on the edge of the pool with her feet dangling, i wondered how cool it would have been to have spent some summers here with her and my other childhood friends for a summer camp dipping our feet in the cool water, jumping off the diving board, learning about the parks wildlife, playing tag and doing things children do. It was still pretty nice view overlooking the city from a different POV, my hometown actually, Glendale, and how even though I've been long and far gone a force always brings me back, today was our curiosity of exploring more than just your more well known hikes in Griffith. I'm just reminiscing and blabbing now, happy hiking, see u in the trails!

I’ve been there at night, it’s a creepy location especially by myself
Yikes! I wouldn't be there at night myself, especially in the dark, see u in the trails 🙌
Thank you for posting this! We went yesterday and your directions were spot on. The trail to the pool by tank #113 was a bit difficult do to the overgrown vegetation. Overall, it was it good hike! if anyone is planning on doing this hike, bring some bug spray. Thanks again!
You got it! See u in the trails
The drone footage was well done 👍👍
👊
Thank you for the clear directions like always on your videos. I just subscribed.
I really enjoyed this video--seeing trails I used to hike on in the late 1980's looking similar today. I am researching the social history of swimming pools so of course I am really curious to know why this pool has become abandoned. Was it previously used by the children's overnight camps? Thanks for posting it.
The pool was built in the 1920s for a girls camp, unfortunately in the 1950s the camp was destroyed by a fire, not the pool however. They rebuild the camps and the pool was used into the 1980s. I can't imagine how hard it must have been to maintain it.
Good video.
Thanks for watching and see you in the trails 🙌
Thank you for posting!
You got it! See u in the trails 🙌
Great video. Used to run those mountains for years . Never k ew about the pool
Oh nice, Griffith has lots of trails and viewpoints, see u in the trails 🙌
Grate information on the is video thank you. I am heading there right now!
How was it ?
It was amazing I've been to Griffith park countless times but this is 1 of my new favorite hikes thank you!
My fear of heights would never let me make this trek!
Check out my other hikes! See u in the trails 🙌
I have hiked to this pool so many times and each time I chicken out because of the steepness lol I know I can do it tho if you go through the boys camp below it's trespassing but it's the easy way
We are going to attempt to find it this weekend😁
How did it go ? The trail to the bridge is steep af after the steps lol I'm planning to try it again
I will go with u lol
Awesome video thanks for sharing however since there is an abandoned pool there that kind of tells me that it was once open to the public so there has to be another route beside all that hiking wouldn't you agree?
There is, if you go up Camp Rd. It's the shortest route, unfortunately it's restricted entry
Have you guys hiked to Sapphire water falls in Rancho Cucamonga
Haven't done Sapphire falls, maybe one I'll check out after it rains
Why didn't you go straight into the boys camp(camp rd.). Did the sign say keep out? I think at this time it is open.
Oh yeah, 3:30 the scarecrow, you are on course.
Bingo 4:07, look for the steel pipe couplings. Just follow the trail you can't get lost.
There are a few "false" trails before this even though you can see the pool on the right it's very easy to get into a bunch of deep brush.
Cool drone shot at the end. Did you check out the little creepy pool house next to the pool?
Also, you can just find your way down and leave through the boys camp area and back to the golf course parking.
Good job finding.
Yes Camp road was closed, no trespassing, or at least when I went. Pretty convenient if it is open now. I didn't check out the little house next to the pool, or is it above it? Going to have to go back to check out. Taking my drone was a must, especially since it overlooks my hometown. See u in the trails 🙌
I noticed on the map that camp road leads to the pool. Is that road closed off to the public?
That's correct, private property, theres a big sign when u come to that junction
How long is the hike all together to get there? Thinking of doing a Photoshoot there this week
3 miles roundtrip, 600 feet Elevation gain. Happy hiking
How long did it take minutes wise you think? About an hour and back to get there?
@@1man1vision It was a bit longer than an hour, we initially took a wrong trail down before reaching Tank 113 so had to back track. About an hour and a half to 2 hours total
I always heard about this place but never know how to get here 😔
Hopefully the water is nice n warm for u to at least dip ur feet in when u go🙂
An you still dont
did you have to hop the fence or could you just walk right in
There's an opening on the fence by the gate!
Gawwwd that annoying and loud background music. Almost makes it unwatchable, having to wait for the dialogue then turning volume up again. That said, many RUclips clips do this without realizing it’s negative impact.
Yikes, we'll thanks for watching!
