What to do and see in Los Angeles, California (CA): The Best Hiking & Camping Tours

April 2, 2022 Janette Largent

Hollywood beckons to tourists who long for a brush with Tinseltown glamor. Tour movie studios, slip your hands into the famous prints at the TCL Chinese Theatre, or indulge in a celeb sighting at one of LA’s white-hot nightspots. Spot your favorite star while shopping at The Grove, or forget all about the famous eye candy as you take in the iconic artwork at The Getty Center. For a different type of star-gazing, peek through the telescopes at the Griffith Observatory.

With a local friendly, fun and knowledgable guide you will go on an adventure through the park and up to the Hollywood sign or Griffith Observatory. HOLLYWOOD SIGN: The hike begins in Hollywoodland, the neighborhood just under the sign, and travels up to Mt Lee, which is the peak that sits just above the iconic sign. You will see stunning panoramic views of Hollywood, Downtown LA, the San Fernando valley and beyond! GRIFFITH OBSERVATORY: The hike begins in Griffith Park and travels up to Mt Hollywood, which is the peak that sits just above the Observatory. Then we will descend to the famous Griffith Observatory to see where LA stargazers have come since the 1930's. To beat the LA heat, early morning & sunset hikes are offered.
