Sunset Ranch
If you love horses and want to do something extra special while you are here, you should definitely consider a ride in Griffith Park. I am a “rider” and used to show American Saddlebreds – one of my ‘happy places’ is on a horse’s back 🙂 Sunset Ranch Hollywood is located in Griffith Park, just below the Hollywood sign, and offers 1 to 4 hour rides at a variety of price points. A one-hour ride is $40, 2-hour ride is $65; a 4-hour Friday evening ride is also available, however you will need to reserve that in advance. This tour takes you “over the hill” to The L.A. Equestrian Center with a food/margarita stop at Viva Fresh, the Mexican restaurant located just off site 🙂 I used to keep my horse at ‘The Center’ and Viva’s is a favorite ‘watering hole” 🙂 The Viva meal is not included in the tour price. This ride is not recommended for beginning riders; you need to be 16 or over and under 250 lbs. Keep in mind, you have to turn around and ride back!
One of the most popular rides is the Saturday evening ride, which is a 2-hour ride to the top of Mount Hollywood with stunning 360 degree views! This ride culminates with a BBQ back at the barn, complete with live country music! It’s a BYOB event and would most definitely be one you would not soon forget 🙂
