If you go to the terraces of the mall, you can enjoy a beautiful view of Mount Lee and the Hollywood Sign. The best spot is on the third level crossing bridge. Compared to the rates of other parking lots in L.
After taking some pictures, why not take a nice walk along the edge of the lake? The Hollywood Reservoir has three separate entrances. If you decide to use your car or to rent one , here are some tips on where to park depending on the entrance you decide to use.
Obviously, you should always pay attention to any signs of no parking. North Beachwood Drive is a 2-mile road and at the end of the road, you will find the entrance to the Sunset Ranch , which we will discuss in detail later. I recommend that you do not go all the way to the end. In fact, you will begin seeing some nice views of the sign at the intersection with Scenic Ave and then going towards the Hollywood Hills. First of all, I want to make it clear that you cannot in any way touch the Hollywood Sign or get very close to it.
In fact, the area is fenced and guarded by cameras and security personnel to avoid accidents and vandalism that have taken place over the years, even though these are rare occurrences. If you want to get as close as possible the only solution is to climb to the top of Mount Lee and admire the view of Los Angeles from behind the Hollywood Sign.
In other words, you can only reach that point where the radio antennas stand out. Before seeing the routes to reach the top, there is some basic information that I must outline not only for the sake of your safety but also to help you understand that you will not get as close to the sign as you might expect. I advise you to read carefully so as not to encounter unpleasant surprises. If you are going to reach the top of Mount Lee to see the view from behind the Hollywood Sign , the first thing you should know is that the residents of Beachwood Canyon the residential area below the sign are fed up with the crowds of tourists who flock to the top of Mount Lee either on foot or by car along the winding, narrow streets that climb up the Hollywood Hills.
The first consequence of this is that they have put up intimidating and misleading official-looking road signs all over this area that aim to discourage people from venturing into this part of Los Angeles. Some time ago there was even a petition to remove the Hollywood Sign from Google Maps.
The second consequence is that law enforcement agencies both private and public are present and ready to report any minor parking violations. So I advise you to try to avoid using your car and rely on Uber or similar services instead, or if you do drive, you should look out for no parking signs.
If you use a GPS, please know that the directions of Google Maps or other services are not entirely reliable. In fact, the last time we checked, when we searched for the Hollywood Sign in the various navigation services, at best, they redirected us to the Griffith Observatory.
If, thanks also to our advice, you finally manage to find the many trails to the top of Mount Lee, make sure to wear clothing and footwear suitable for walking. Another factor to take into account is the climate. In the summer, temperatures will rise considerably and you will not find many shady spots on the trail.
