Hollywood Sign and Mount Lee
Starting from Canyon Drive in Griffith Park, the route enters Brush Canyon on the broad Brush Canyon Trail, leaving the Bronson Canyon area behind as it rises through open chaparral, dry ravine scenery, and the wooded-looking folds of the Hollywood Hills.
Higher up, the trail bends across the hillside to meet the Mulholland Trail, where the setting opens into wider views over Hollywood, Los Angeles, and the surrounding Griffith Park ridges, with the Hollywood Sign appearing more clearly ahead.
The final approach follows Mount Lee Drive around the ridge to the summit area behind the Hollywood Sign, passing above the famous white letters and ending on Mount Lee with broad views toward Griffith Observatory, the San Fernando Valley, and the Santa Monica Mountains.
