Hollywood Sign Hiking Tour to Griffith Observatory

Overview

Take a guided hike in Griffith Park to enjoy the stunning views of the Hollywood Sign, Griffith Observatory and LA skyline. Throughout the course of the hike we will ascend the equivalent of 15 flights of stairs at a leisurely pace and take frequent stops to admire the views and hear about the history of this beautiful terrain. Often there are film crews shooting scenes along this trail, who knows who we might spot? As we approach the belly of Griffith Observatory, the iconic Hollywood Sign will come into view and provide a spectacular backdrop to your photos that will make you the envy of all your friends. Get close to the REAL stars at Griffith Observatory, LA’s renowned astronomy museum, with its sweeping terraces. You have the option of entering the building (closed Mondays) after the tour or take the short hike back with your guide. Designed by a former Observatory employee, no other tour presents the history, beauty and context of this area quite like we do, come find out why!

Amazing hike that takes you through the winding streets in the neighborhood beside the park and then up to the observatory. Our guide was phenomenal, the best storyteller and sweetest person. He was truly amazing! Would definitely recommend this tour.

This was a fantastic experience, we learned so much and definitely got our steps in. There are definitely some very steep uphills at certain points, but we went slow and took plenty of breaks for water, pictures, and information. The views were amazing and our guide, Paul, was so knowledgeable and engaging. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to get some exercise and learn about the history of LA, Griffith Park, the observatory, and surrounding areas.
