Hikes
Julia Newman
Los Angeles is not an accessible city by foot. Usually we have to take cars and or buses (preferably something with wheels) to get from place to place. By the week’s end, what could sound better than a hike? The ability to get some exercise while taking in some amazing Los Angeles views are only a couple perks of taking a hike. One of the most famous hikes to do in LA is the hike to the Hollywood sign from Griffith Park. The Hollywood sign was built in 1923 on Mount Lee, the tallest peak in LA. Then it was rebuilt in 1979. Each letter stands at 50 feet high and 30 feet wide. It’s incredible to see up close! The link below takes you step by step in planning a hike to one of the most iconic signs in the world.
