We will hike through Brush Canyon Trail along Brush Creek then ascend to the Mulholland Trail along the ridge between Mount Bell and Mount Lee. We will enjoy a spectacular view of Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valleys as we traverse the high trail up to the Hollywood Sign. We will hike to the top of Mt. Lee, and right up behind the Hollywood sign.
For those who want a bonus, once we return to our the parking area, we can walk a very very short trip up to "The Bat Cave", formally known as the Bronson Caves, featured in the classic TV show Batman.
