The air is thin with smog-sweet California sunlight as hikers gather at the Brush Canyon trailhead beneath the Smokey the Bear sign. The route climbs through scrubby chaparral and eucalyptus shade, the city unfolding below in angles of glass and pavement, until a single white landmark dominates the skyline: the Hollywood Sign, standing like a stage prop with a view.

2–3 hours.
Moderately fit; you should be comfortable with sustained uphill walking and uneven terrain.
The typical route used by guided tours is about 3–4 miles round trip with roughly 600–800 feet of elevation gain, completed in 2–3 hours depending on stops.
No—access directly behind the letters is restricted. The tour brings you to the best legal vantage points for photos and views without trespassing.
Participants should have a reasonable level of fitness; children with hiking experience may do fine, but the tour is not recommended for those with serious mobility, heart, or spinal issues.
Only service animals are permitted on guided tours; recreational pets are typically not allowed for safety and trail etiquette reasons.
Griffith J. Griffith gifted the land to Los Angeles in the late 19th/early 20th century to create public recreation space; the Hollywood Sign started as a 1923 real-estate advertisement and later became the iconic marker it is today.
The area is fire-prone and fragile; staying on trails prevents erosion and protects native chaparral, and visitors should carry out all trash and avoid disturbing wildlife.
