Hollywood Sign Los Angeles, CA 90068

"I did the hike from Lake Hollywood to behind the sign, it took about 2 hours for the round trip. It was not particularly challenging in terms of length and slope but the hot weather made it more difficult. It was anyway very nice and the view from the top is really worth it despite a little bit of mist."

"The hike from the Griffith Observatory to the Hollywood sign is indeed a popular one, offering stunning views of the city. However, it's important to note that it's not possible to directly hike up to the Hollywood sign itself due to security reasons. The closest you can get is by following the Mount Hollywood Dr trail, which takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes and is 3.2 miles long. You can see the directions on Google Maps."

"I enjoyed the hike to go see the sign. It was my first hiking trip and I am glad I did this. Advice when you are going don’t take too much stuff. Carry light maybe just water and a yoghurt. You can refill your water but there is only one water stop. I hope they add more."

"The hike is very tiresome, especially if you're coming from the east side of the park, but worth it. What an amazing view! I was lucky enough to see the sunset from the top! Oh what a moment!"
