Plus there were bushes and foliage in the way. We spot the trail we are supposed to be taking, but no idea how to get to it. There was one trail that goes across the mountain to the sign, so we start walking the trail, only to find it turns into hardcore hiking across rocks and no real path in sight. We ventured back here for quite some time, not really getting anywhere.Įventually we find a road, hooray! And a sign that maps out the different trails. We took a trail at random and were at the back of the hills looking towards Burbank. We were no where near it.įrom here there are no trail maps, whatsoever. And it did take us to a view of the Hollywood sign, but honestly, that’s not the view we came for. But everything was so badly sign posted.įrom Griffith Observatory we took the Mt Hollywood Hiking Trail from the Charlie Turner trail head. Or that there’d be a map of some sort at the trail head. I did zero research on this hike, I’d left it up to the other girls, assuming they knew what route to take. So on a very clear and sunny day, we met at the Griffith Observatory. I’d always wanted to do it, yet despite visiting California so many times, I’d never made it. Two of my Disney co-workers and good friends, Sammy & Grace, were also in town and messaged me to see if I’d like to join them on a hike to the Hollywood sign. The power had cut out while we were at the grove one day. They were having a heatwave, it was 45 degrees in Burbank. The same day I moved out of my apartment I flew to Los Angeles to spend a week with my sister. My last few days were hectic, trying to figure out what to do with my 7 suitcases of Disney merch. July this year saw the end of my Disney Cultural Representative Program. But if there was one thing I took from doing this hike, it’s to be less of a tourist and do more research. And it’s possible to get pretty close too. Everyone wants to get as close to it as they possibly can. One of the most popular things tourists want to do when visiting Los Angeles, is visiting the Hollywood sign.
