How do get to Hollywood Sign in less than hour? T How do get to Hollywood Sign in less than hour?

There are many ways to hike to the Hollywood sign but we were on a mission to find the quickest and easiest route to follow, and I think we did :)

This route is NOT on Google Maps, so #saveforlater

🚖 Take an Uber to the point marked on Google Maps as the Last House on Mulholland (in our case the road was closed and we had to get off a five-minute walk from that point).
🚶‍♀️ Then follow the signs to the Hollywood Sign, as easy as that!

The hike is around 45 mins to the top, but on the way you will find a great viewpoint overlooking the sign, so you make want to plan more time for photos.

Note: You CANNOT follow this hike if you have a car as non-resident parking is not permitted in the area. If you have a car you need to follow one of the trails suggested by Google Maps. The nearest car park is near Bronson Caves which is about an hour away. However, as this is a rather small parking area, you may have better luck finding a spot near the Griffith Observatory. From there, the sign is around 1 hour and 30 minutes away.

Hint: The good thing of not bringing a car, is that you can return back following a different path. We chose to return following the Griffith Observatory route to enjoy the evening views of Los Angeles from there before taking an Uber back.

What was the first thing we did when we arrived in What was the first thing we did when we arrived in Los Angeles?

Obviously we slept, but after that we took advantage of our natural early morning woke up call (thanks jetlag) and took the bus to Beverly Hills! Yes, most places were closed but we could have the palm spring lined streets to ourselves! A bit of sunny weather would have been better, but that’s out of my control 😉
