Reach a multi-point junction and continue straight, passing a couple trails up to the top of Mount Hollywood (1 mile).Cross a saddle and curve left past the steeper route rising to the right (0.23 miles).Hike straight through a junction with West Trail on the left (0.2 miles).Start from Charlie Turner Trailhead at the parking area by Griffith Observatory and begin up Mount Hollywood Hiking Trail (0 miles).Directions from Griffith Observatory to the Hollywood Sign This manageable 2.65-mile hike delivers excellent views of both the Observatory and the Hollywood Sign (along with the rest of Los Angeles). Starting on Mount Hollywood Drive trims the round trip distance by about two miles and bypasses Mount Hollywood (details below).Īnother alternative for those not wanting to take such a long hike to the Hollywood Sign is to hike from the Griffith Observatory to Mount Hollywood instead. This paved road is closed to vehicles and begins from an intersection near Griffith Observatory where Western Canyon Road and West Observatory Road meet. The route goes right past the summit, so adding the top of Mount Hollywood is easy to do and only extends the outing by 0.4 miles.įor something shorter, hikers can bypass Mount Hollywood and start the hike at the bottom of Mount Hollywood Drive. The trail leaving Griffith Observatory takes you up Mount Hollywood, which is the mountain just above the observatory. The trailhead and the summit are separated by 575 feet of elevation, but because this route crosses a mountain in between, the hike actually has two ascents of 425 feet and 525 feet. The hike from Griffith Observatory to the Hollywood Sign on Mount Lee is 8.8 miles round trip (4.4 miles each way). Driving up to the Hollywood Sign is not allowed, but a shuttle sometimes operates that takes visitors to the summit.
