We chose the Innsdale Trail to see the Hollywood Sign and it turned out to be a great decision. We found free parking on Tahoe Drive, where there was plenty of space available, and from there it was just a quick 5-minute walk to the start of the trail. The trail itself was well-maintained and made for an easy, enjoyable walk. We decided not to hike all the way up to the sign, as there were plenty of great spots along the way to snap some pictures. After about 15 minutes of walking, we found ourselves with some fantastic views of the sign. The entire experience was laid-back and perfect for anyone looking for a short, scenic walk to see this iconic landmark.

There are a lot of tours you can take to see the Hollywood Sign. If you want to do a short and easy hike to just take pics you don’t need to spend money on a tour. I recommend starting your hike via Innsdale Drive. I think it took us like 30 mins to do get to the top. The pics and the view was amazing. Some hikes can be as long as 7 miles. Yikes!! We just wanted the experience of taking pics with the sign. And this worked out great for us. We took a Lyft there and then we took one back to Universal Studios which was so close. Just put in Hollywood Sign via Innsdale Drive for directions or Lyft destination.

There are several places in the city that you can take pictures from the sign, but most from far away. It's a private place, so you can't get too close. But there are parks and trails that you can get a little closer, but you have to go by car. I used the Ovation Hollywood shopping mirror to see the sign.

Like us if you don’t want to hike then best location to visit is from “Lake Hollywood Park”. But the area neighborhood is little difficult to drive with narrow lanes so Uber is best option alike we did. If you go by your own car might need little effort to find parking spot in peak time . Time spent : 15 to 30 minutes depending upon how many clicks you want . To go there simple put “lake Hollywood park “ in google map or Uber and it takes to right spot .

The only nice thing to see in Hollywood. That way you can look up to the sky instead of at all of the litter and homeless on the ground. It's pretty iconic and majestic and you can get perfect views from Hollywood Highland, North Beachwood Drive and Lake Hollywood Park. I definitely suggest Lake Hollywood Park if you want a perfect shot up close where you can fit all of the letters in without them looking so far away in the distance. You'll get a bit of a view on Sunset Blvd but it may be obstructed by buildings

This sign, that originated as an advertisement for a housing development Hollywoodland, is world recognized symbol for the city and can be seen from all over the city. I will say we tried to reach a park just under the sign for pictures, but roadwork closed access from the east side. We did get to see the original office for the Hollywoodland development. As for the sign you can also get great pictures from Griffith Observatory and Griffith Park on the hike to the top of Mount Hollywood. Please note the sign is not on Mount Hollywood but rather Mount Lee. Just on the west side of Griffith Observatory, there is a viewing platform for the sign. There is also a pair of angel's wings that is perfect for pictures with the sign between the wings. It is an amazing sign to see from all over the city.

A must see for anyone visiting Los Angeles. We visited Lake Hollywood Park and took lots and lots of photos! Can park at side of road for free. Refreshments were available from a few stalls which seemed reasonably priced.

The hike was SOMETHING!!!! Bring water, sunscreen, and a light snack like fruit for the mission. We walked to take pictures below the sign as if we were holding the sign up and continued the walk to the top where we were in back of the sign. The views at the top was AMAZING. the entire trip up (not including breaks) was a little over 1 hour. there are many pathways along this trail. Before coming i found a tiktok video which should us the route to get to both locations and were to park for free. Would do it again!!

When we traveled to Los Angeles, California, a must-visit spot on our list was the Hollywood Sign, one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world. Located on the southern slope of Mount Lee in the Santa Monica Mountains, this iconic symbol of the entertainment industry represents the glitz and glamour of Hollywood and has a rich history that reflects the evolution of Los Angeles itself. The Hollywood Sign is synonymous with the global entertainment industry. It signifies the hopes and dreams of countless individuals who come to Hollywood seeking fame and fortune. Each year, millions of tourists flock to Los Angeles to catch a glimpse of the Hollywood Sign. It is a must-see destination for visitors looking to experience a piece of cinematic history, and we were among those. We got lost on the roads of the hill, trying to find a spot for a nice photograph that would prove we had visited the Hollywood Sign. After an hour, we found it! A nice hill with an incredible view of the Hollywood Sign as a background, within walking distance from Lake Hollywood Park. We highly recommend this spot to anyone traveling to this landmark. Snap a shot here, and you will not be disappointed.

If you like hiking, and especially like portions of steep inclines, this visit will fill your cup! We started by Mulholland. When going up, up, up, our first stop was the hill with the Memory Tree and American flag. After a rest, we journeyed over to the spot behind the Hollywood sign. We gained a total of over 1000 feet of elevation and the hike took us just over an hour (not including rests). I am so glad to have visited this iconic sign! I'm not sure that I'd do it again, but I'm so glad I did get a chance to see it up close and personal!
