The Premier Hollywood Sign Tour: Nature in the Heart of the City

This Hollywood Sign Walking Tour starts at the Canyon Drive entrance and meanders all the way up Brush Canyon visiting riparian, oak woodland, chaparral, and sage scrub communities on the way to the best view of the front of the Hollywood Sign before climbing to the top of Mt. Lee above The Hollywood Sign for unforgettable views of the LA Basin, the Pacific Ocean, the San Fernando Valley and three mountain ranges.

This tour is the wildest of the bunch and offers encounters with four major ecological communities in Southern California: Coastal Sage Scrub, Riparian, Chaparral, and Oak Woodland. In this setting we touch on the Gabrieleño/Tongva first Californians, the Spanish Colony, the Mexican Era, and U.S. Statehood and find the connections between these cultural periods and the ecology that shaped them.

Bring good shoes, a hat, sunscreen and loads of water for this 7 mile hike.
