The 5am Crew is a hiking group in Los Angeles and has gained national attention for taking big groups of hikers early in the morning at 5am to the top of the hills of Griffith Park, often showcasing amazing views above the clouds and views of the city early in the morning with spectacular sunrises.

The 5am crew continues to inspire hikers to start running with various running groups throughout the Los Angeles area.
