The Hollywood Sign. It's everywhere! It's even better in person. The Hollyridge Trail will take you up to amazing views overlooking the city and the infamous LA landmark. If you're a newbie hiker such as myself, the hike is a relatively easy uphill climb.
The path leading up to the sign is wide and paved evenly. There are alternate trails available for intermediate to advanced hikers. Along your journey, you may cross groups of men and women on horse back. There's a nearby trail that leads to a local horse ranch (Sunset Ranch), open to the public located near the entrance of the park.
The Hollyridge Trail is a 3 mile hike roundtrip. It takes less than an hour, depending on your pace, to see the enormous iconic sign. It's a short sweet trail that I'd recommend to tourists, Angelenos, and adventure seekers. Discover LA with this historical landmark, and see the city from a different point of view.
You can reach the Hollywood Sign by taking the 101 South coming from the Dodger Stadium, and exiting Franklin. Make a right on Franklin, and a left on Beachwood Drive. Head North on Beachwood Drive and travel all the way up until you reach the park. There are no other roads that will take you directly to Hollyridge Trail. Once you have reached your destination, you will see a parking lot on your right. If in the event the lot is full, take that extra step and make that booty sweat!
