Description
This tour starts at the Canyon Drive entrance and meanders all the way up Brush Canyon to the best view of the front of the Hollywood Sign before summiting Mt. Lee above The Hollywood Sign.
This Hollywood Sign hike starts in the Brush Canyon parking lot and goes up Brush Canyon Trail and Mulholland Trail to the Tyrolean Tank for the most popular viewpoint of the sign and then turns back to summit Mt. Lee, behind the Hollywood Sign. This tour is the wildest of the bunch and offers encounters with four major ecological communities in Southern California: Coastal Sage Scrub, Riparian, Chaparral, and Oak Woodland. In this setting we touch on the Gabrieleño/Tongva first Californians, the Spanish Colony, the Mexican Era, and U.S. Statehood and find the connections between these cultural periods and the ecology that shaped them.
