GPS took us to this dead end road that is the closest you can get. You can take a short trail that is a good view and picture. It is a really weird drive through the hills above LA. Lots of hair-pin turns and narrow roads. It was only like 15 minutes drive from Hollywood Blvd. and totally worth the... More

We stayed in a room at the Reniassance that faced the sign. What a view! I knew there was no lights on the sign, but I did think there were flood lights, though. It would be cool to go up to the sign but it is not accessible by the public. Tip: If you go to Google Streets, you will... More

The route up to the Hollywood sign is a little rough & curvy, but boy once you reach the car pull-in area, the view of the city is amazing - I can only imagine what a night view would look like! There were many visitors when we arrived & a few tour buses, but you have to see the view... More

We found a close location on google to view the sign and it was very cool! Also turns out that Ashton Kutcher lived on the same street as the closest viewing point! More

Had a brilliant up close view of the sign, which looks much bigger than I imagined. You also get great views of the sign from Griffin Observatory and also Hollywood Boulevard. Cannot come to LA without visiting this. More

From afar, the Hollywood Sign is just a symbol of failed hopes and dreams, but if you get up close it's breathtaking. Hiking up here only takes like an hour and a half, and then you get this Lion King-esque panorama of LA. It's easy enough to do with kids. Take some water, though. A fun way to spend an... More
