Mount Hollywood Hike in Los Angeles booking from $60.00

Mount Hollywood Hike

Overview

For the Mount Hollywood Hike we’ll meet you at the Greek Theater. You’ll then hike through the Bird Sanctuary and up into the Hollywood Hills as we tell you about the first inhabitants of Los Angeles, the Tongva. As we climb the hills you’ll see LA spread below you, so it’s a great way to get an understanding of how the city developed and how the different areas connect with each other. From the summit of Mount Hollywood you can see almost the whole of Los Angeles.

After that we’ll follow the trails down, stopping at some of the best spots to get those Instagram shots of the Hollywood Sign, to the Griffith Observatory. We’ll finish your Mount Hollywood Hike by giving you a quick tour of the Observatory, before leaving you to enjoy this fantastic free museum.

* Tour starts 3pm (Winter) or 4pm (Summer) daily
* Reusable water bottle included ($10 retail value).
* Children between 7-12 y.o. gain free entry

Damian is a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and his love for the city and its story really comes through. We weren’t sure about doing a walking tour but we were so glad we did. It was a highlight of our time in LA and we learned some really interesting things about the history and development of the area. Will definitely recommend the tour to friends heading to LA.

A cool way to see the park and observatory. We were lucky we were the only ones on the tour, so we got out guide to ourselves. He was great providing commentary on the history of LA and the park. It wasn't to physically grueling, the views were amazing, including a good spot for the Hollywood sign. It finished up at the observatory, where we had the option to walk back to the start with our guide or stay and spend time at the observatory which we did. Just note, the reception isn't great up there, so we weren't able to order and Uber. It was dark by then, so we ended up jumping on the local bus to get back to the Greek Theatre. I wouldnt recommend driving to the observatory, the traffic and parking wasnt great. Great tour which I would recommend.
