This scenic yet grueling journey can be experienced with minimal crowds along the trail, but you’re sure to feel the muscle burn all the way up!
The most direct (but strenuous) path to the Hollywood Sign is via Burbank Peak Trail. Innsdale Drive (4.6 miles) – the one we did, which is not very strenuous.There are four popular routes to get to the Hollywood sign (ranked from shortest to longest): It is possible to add another 90 minutes and hike up above the sign, but this was the view I had come for. In fact no one can – except the occasional protester. You don’t get close enough to touch the sign. We met Noelle, our fun guide (and stand-up comedian in her spare time) for the 2-hour round trip through secret gates and turnstiles. If you haven’t been here before I’d suggest joining a walking tour with Bikes and Hikes LA. And when you reach its summit, stand in awe at this legendary icon against the backdrop of the city. You’ll burn more than a few calories along the trail, seeing breathtaking views of Los Angeles. Standing behind the Hollywood sign provides amazing views I mean sure, you could drop more than your house is worth in one store alone on iconic Rodeo Drive, but you can also shop along parallel Beverly Drive at the likes of Pottery Barn, Lulu Lemon and Sephora. You might be pleasantly surprised to find that Beverly Hills is not as expensive as you thought.
THINGS TO DO IN LA TODAY PLUS
Plus other foods, but a lobster dish with a glass of something chilled watching the sun slide into the Pacific Ocean is a bucket list moment. The Lobster is located at the start of the Pier and is famous for, you guess it, Lobster. You’ll also find souvenir shops dotted along and more places to eat, including one of my absolute faves: The Lobster.
You can ride the Ferris Wheel, eat waist-altering donuts, and walk all the way to the end to stand at the official start of Route 66. You can rent bikes and go for a ride down to Venice Beach, or in the direction towards Malibu (no, it’s too far to cycle there!) It’s cliched, but we love lunch at Bubba Gump on the Pier! (Flip your Run Forest Run sign for a waiter). And the iconic 100+ year old Santa Monica Pier is a must-see. I don’t even swim (bathing suit!), but the wide sandy beach is the focal point of this laid back village. The shopping along Third Street Promenade will keep you busy for a couple of hours, the dining scene runs from a family-friendly food hall in Santa Monica Place, to luxury hotels and cool beach vibes.īut it’s Santa Monica beach I really love. I try and always stay here at one of the amazing beach front hotels and always recommend it to friends. This is my favorite Los Angeles neighborhoods.
