Easiest Hollywood Sign Hike, Los Angeles, California - How to Get There! 

For those who have done the hike, which LA skyline did you see? Clear or hazy?

In case anyone was wondering, I just took this route today and it took about 2 hours there and back and was 5 miles total.

You nailed it. I just sent this to my buddy that’s taking his family up there tomorrow. We discovered this route a few years back. It’s the only way up.

really clear directions. I've hiked to the sign a few times. Always worth the effort.

Great video that shows the trail all the way up to the back of the sign.

Great view, man.✌️👍

Great video! Thanks for the info!

Not a huge fan of Hollywood, but the sign is indeed iconic and the video was very informational and interesting!

Hard work pays off with that view!!! It’s Smog Angeles!

That would be a good hike if there was a waterfall there at the sign. Ha ha. But pretty nice that you had it all to yourself.

thanks!

FYI, I lover your videos and was SO hesitant to watch this because my level of, well...hate for LA is strong after a two week training there. Nevertheless, I truly appreciate the video and perhaps I just need to get over it! Stay safe and thank you.

I'm so going to do this hike next week when I'm in LA with my date. Hey did you ever hike over the ridge over to Mt Sinai Memorial Park?

Fantastic 🙂🙂

Are the gates in Mulholland Hwy always open? I mean from Sunrise to Sunset.

Can you park at innsdale drive near the innsdale trail without getting a parking ticket ?

My wife and I are going to LA next month and would like to do some hiking. How long did this trail take and any suggestions for other must-see hiking trails?

Is it possible to hike with a stroller? Seems not too steep to bring my kids. How long was the hike

How much time did you need to hike to have the picture of holliwood sign and to hike to the summit❓

Wrong about Bee rock. Bee rock is nowhere in that area, it's closer to the Glendale side. What you were pointing to is closer to the Disney studios, Bee rock is way over on the other side, way past Forest lawn, travel town, the golf course and the Old LA Zoo. It's not visible from where you were standing but if you go to the old LA Zoo up close to where the cages are you can see it and that's also the faster way to get to bee rock. You can hike right up to the bottom of it or take the trails on the far West side of where the Los Angeles Haunted Hay Ride is performed every year and just follow the trail. I perform in that show and like to camp out near the old LA Zoo during performance season and get up around 4-5 am to go for a night hike up to Bee rock, arriving just before sunset. It's a nice little hike which gets a bit creepy if you go a certain way but once you're at the top there's GREAT views of the old LA Zoo, the golf course, Glendale etc. Other than that, great video with easy to follow directions but it's actually not necessarily the easiest way. This is about a three hour hike but you can get to the same spot in about 20 to 30 minutes by going to the end of Beachwood and hiking from the Sunset stables. That's if you want a quick and easy hike, I like a good challenge though and have hiked all the way from Fryes electronics in Burbank to the Tommy's on Sunset Blvd hitting the Hollywood sign about halfway; going clear over the mountain from Burbank into Hollywood. Last hike I did I went up Western, parked at the Park and Ride at around 5AM and hiked the rest of the way. That's about an hour long hike but totally worth it if you're going after dark, the views are amazing. About the toughest hike I ever did to the Hollywood sign from from the area you pointed to with the red arrow but closer to Forrest lawn. I went straight up the side of the mountain from the Burbank side and definitely don't recommend it unless you're absolutely F'ing insane. Had to climb UNDER lots of bushes, got all scratched up and dirty, got lost a few times and the further you go the steeper it gets. I almost fell a few hundred feet; grabbed onto a vine sticking out of the ground like some Raiders of The Lost Ark shit and if I'd have fell from that location they MIGHT have found my dead body several years later. Nobody hikes in that area & for good reason, there's a million better ways to get there but that was around 1985-86 and I didn't know any better.

Can you park at lake Hollywood park on canyon drive before sunrise to capture pictures at sunrise? If you wanted to get sunset pictures can you do so before the gates close to drive out? I would love to get sunrise or sunset pictures with hollywood sign

How many hours did it take for the total hike?

Is it a 4 hour hike ?

we ate some acid and drove up nearby in 1979. we locked the car and walked to the fence. we were gonna climb it, but we found a way under, with a little digging. the sign at that time was made of rotting and paint pealing plywood. there was so much graffiti the bottom of the letters were no longer white. it was so ugly up close you wouldn't beieve it. we sat down behind the letters and smoked several joints and passed a wine bottle around. after a while we got bored and left. it was fun, but what an ugly mess that sign was.

JUST ME: Hey guys, let's meet back IN 20 Minutes, I just want to run out to the Hollywood sign. FRIENDS: No Bro, COME ON, we need to go Now ! JUST ME: Yo Bro, stop trippin , give me 15 minutes. 4 Hours Later : JUST ME: why y'all staring at me ?
