Cahuenga Peak, Mountain summit in Griffith Park, Los Angeles, United States.
The peak rises to an elevation of 555 meters, offering views across the Los Angeles Basin and San Fernando Valley from its natural trails.
Howard Hughes purchased the peak in the 1940s with intentions to construct a residence for actress Ginger Rogers before the property remained undeveloped.
The peak became part of Griffith Park in 2010 after a public campaign that included temporarily modifying the Hollywood Sign to read Save the Peak.
The Wonder View Trail leads to the summit through a 2-mile round trip path, requiring sturdy footwear and water supplies for the steep ascent.
The mountain supports rare flora species including Plummer's mariposa lily and provides habitat for echo blue butterflies and coast horned lizards.
