Hollywood Sign Hike & Paradise Cove

Hollywood Sign & Paradise Cove

The Hollywood Sign is an American landmark and cultural icon overlooking Hollywood, California. Situated on Mount Lee in the Beachwood Canyon, it originally read "Hollywoodland," an advertising beacon for a local real estate development consisting of 4,000 light bulbs, which alternately flashed in successive segments "HOLLY," "WOOD," and "LAND." After tumbling in decay, it was rebuilt in 1978 with a more durable all-steel structure, spelling out the word "Hollywood" in 45-foot-tall white uppercase letters and 350 feet long.

We will hike to the top of Mount Lee, overlooking the Hollywood Sign and all of L.A.
