This next Los Angeles hot spot is an awesome attraction for hikers. Many out-of-towners think of the famous Hollywood sign when they think of LA, but not too many visitors get the opportunity to see the sign up close. The Hollywood sign has surfaced in nearly a hundred films dating back to the 1930s. Another fun fact about the sign’s history is it was actually created as an advertisement for a housing development known as “Hollywoodland” back in 1923. Located on Mt. Lee, the Hollywood sign can be easily spotted from many areas in Los Angeles.

My boyfriend and I decided to take the Hollyridge Trail for a closer look at the Hollywood sign.
