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!

Gregory has a wealth of knowledge that he freely shares. He is very studied in LA history and all of the sights. He also leads other tours that contribute to his complete understanding.

Paul was a great tour guide and told my husband and I many stories about Griffith Park and Hollywood as we were hiking up a path towards the Griffith Park Observatory. At the outset, we heard all about Griffith Griffith, his horrible temper and the violent accusations he made towards his young wife. Later in his life, he became a benefactor to Los Angeles when he left his immense 30+ acre property to the city upon his death, with plans to build an observatory and planetarium for the people. Paul made the history of the area come to life. He was an amazing storyteller! The only reason I didn’t rate this tour a 5 was because one member of our little group decided after some distance that she could not continue. This necessitated a pause in the pacing of our hike, so she could return to our starting place and take a tram to the Planetarium rather than walk. But Paul made the best of it and we resumed our hike to see a home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, a quaint Witch House, a murder house, views of celebrity homes. Being an actor as well as a tour guide, made Paul’s stories all the more interesting. This hike was definitely one of the highlights of our week in Los Angeles and I would recommend it to others.

Matt was exceptional as a tour guide with knowledge to both his own topics as well as questions we had. Great energy, great to talk to and well paced tour.
