Cahuenga Peak (2.9 miles) - Universal City off of Lake Hollywood Drive
Two houses for sale behind me. If anyone has recently won the lottery and would like to purchase two houses this would be your view.
Looking up with enthusiasm of a nice hike ahead. Plan didn't work out so well.
I soon ran into this guy. He seemed pissed. What's more terrifying than almost stepping on a pissed off rattlesnake while hiking alone in the woods? Turns out, not much.
Since I lack the super human ability to resist snake venom, I said goodbye to Chipper the Snake and promptly turned around and headed back down the mountain. Universal is off in the distance bringing back fond memories of night shoots at the chicken ranch, or watching the sun rise saturday morning and shine down on me with the sparkle of the hollywood dream.
Walking back to the car in my new shoes. They are super bright. Probably what angered Chipper.
Hike rating:
2 out of 5 nibblers due to venomous animals and lack of completion
