The DASH runs every day — 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. (even on Mondays when the Observatory building is closed.)

Shuttles run every 15: 20 minutes. Last shuttle to depart from The Griffith Observatory is at 10pm.The Metro Red Line at Sunset/Vermont is a DASH shuttle stop. Click here for more information about using Metro to get to Griffith Park.
