The animals may have left the Old LA Zoo decades ago, but some say their spirits never did! Hidden in the hills of Griffith Park, the abandoned zoo is filled with empty cages, forgotten enclosures, and a mysterious past. Rumors suggest that the old zoo is haunted, with the cries of animals still echoing through the grounds at night. This Halloween, join us as we venture through the ruins to discover what creatures might still be lurking in the shadows! We'll continue along the surrounding trails for a total of 3–5 miles of hiking with 500-700 feet elevation gain.

Transportation is not provided so you must have your own transportation or carpool with others. A group list will be sent out for those wishing to do so. The hike is free, but you should plan to contribute for gas. We will depart from the Caltech Y at 9 am and return around 1 pm. Look for a confirmation email with more details and logistics. Sign-ups are first-come-first-served. Email sgkumar@caltech.edu or rramesh@caltech.edu if you have any questions.
