HIKING TO THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN

 

What every Angeleno must do at least once, is hike up to the most iconic sign in Los Angeles – the HOLLYWOOD SIGN!

The views from the top are gorgeous and on a clear day, one can see all the way from downtown to the shimmering Pacific Ocean.

We did the hike a couple of weekends ago. A moderately strenuous hike, a 3 mile round-trip from the top of Beachwood Canyon with a total elevation rise of 600 feet.

It is a great way to begin a weekend morning. Follow it up with a cup of steaming coffee in one of many coffee shops in the area and by shopping for fresh produce at the weekly Farmer’s market nearby.

Note: The average person (150 lbs.) would burn up about 400 calories on this 90 minute hike.
