The Hollywood Sign (formerly the Hollywoodland Sign) is an American landmark and cultural icon overlooking Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. It is situated on Mount Lee, in the Hollywood Hills area of the Santa Monica Mountains.
“HOLLYWOOD” is spelled out in 45-foot (13.7 m)-tall white capital letters and is 350 feet (106.7 m) long.The sign was originally created in 1923 as a temporary advertisement for a local real estate development, but due to increasing recognition, the sign was left up.
The sign has been a frequent target of pranks and vandalism across the decades, but it has since undergone restoration, including the installation of a security system to deter vandalism.The sign is protected and promoted by The Hollywood Sign Trust, a nonprofit organization, while its site and the surrounding land are part of Griffith Park.
Easy2Hike shows official information from its partners – park management agencies. It guarantees visitors like you get the most updated information from the people who know the parks best. Most agencies maintain a database of their trails and that’s what they would usually share on Easy2Hike.
Easy2Hike works with the agencies to provide complete hikes on top of their trail network. Please note the map legend button below the map – it allows you to see other useful layers of information shared by the park staff – many times it will include picnic tables, restrooms, stream crossings, etc.
