"At the top of Mount Lee is the symbolic Hollywood Sign facing out towards Hollywood. The hike to the top is a right of passage for every Angeleno. We recommend starting at the Bronson Caves (address given) & then hiking to the top, since you can no longer drive to it. It's roughly 60mins. one way so bring a water bottle & wear your hiking shoes!" - Sallie Harrison Design Studio

"Unique L.A.: The Big Parade A two-day walk that you can join or leave almost anywhere along the route, the Big Parade is a community stroll that starts at the Angel’s Flight Stairway in downtown Los Angeles and ends at the iconic Hollywood sign. Along the way, revelations include a secret dirt road between Silver Lake and Echo Park, the Music Box Stairs (site of a Laurel and Hardy film), and other quirky landmarks. Big Parade IV takes place May 19-20. —Aimee Bender By Afar Magazine"

Its beautiful. I cant believe this picture is from Monday before Tuesday fires. Parking is scarce, DO respect “no parking” signs, this is a neighborhood, often guarded by city’s enforcement. Understandable, people live their private lives in these houses. I am glad I got to see it that way for the last time 🫶🏻

I did the Hollywood sign hike via Canyon Drive at sunrise. Overall took 3 hours round trip, but I spend a long time at the summit taking pictures. The hike is quite easy and very well paved with slight elevation. I would definitely recommend doing it for sunrise. No crowd, no heat from the sun (trail has shade at all), and beautiful views.

Nearly 8 total miles walk from the parking lot to Hollywood sign and back.... Met famous retired boxer on the trail. He still was training. For his privacy, I won't say his name. It was a great experience, and I highly recommend the hike to the Hollywood sign.

Visiting the Hollywood Sign with my wife last year was an incredible experience! The hike was enjoyable, offering breathtaking views of Los Angeles and the iconic sign. Sharing this moment with my wife made it even more special—walking together, taking photos, and soaking in the beauty of the city below. It’s truly a must-visit spot in LA, and the memories we made will stay with us forever. Highly recommend this adventure for couples or anyone looking for a unique LA experience!

Awesome hike! Everyone should go at least once. 40-50 min hike with moderately difficult trail, starting on Lake Hollywood Dr, where you may find parking spots on weekends before 6-7 am. I loved the majestic view. I would recommend arriving early so that it’s not so hot. Bring water.

Awesome hike. Depending on which route you take will determine the difficulty of the hike. I started the hike going to wisdom tree then the Hollywood sign and ended near the “last house on mulhulland”. My whole route was 6 miles but you could make yours shorter or longer.

A great hike to the top. Do a google map for the guide to get to the top. There is what looks like a locked door and. Sign that says no entry to Hollywood sign and has door with a keypad along the route but it’s usually unlocked and you just go thru. Well worth the hike. Bring water and snacks. At the end get some delicious fruit from a vendor at the entrance in the street.

This was a dream come true experience, being from Africa I wouldn’t have thought I’d make my way here. Definitely living my childhood dreams. The place shows natural landscapes, residential areas and the sign but to me it’s more than those things. It’s a moment that would be imprinted in my memories forever! California is beautiful! Miss there already.
