Los Angeles Hillside Hikes With Hollywood Sign Sightlines
Walk at sunrise with free entry, and pick between 10 dollar hourly parking or a free lot a mile away.
🥾 A Morning Above the City
Griffith Park puts miles of hillside trails between you and the usual Los Angeles day. Quiet sunrise spots, broad city views and clear sightlines to the Hollywood Sign give an early walk its focus. Take time to stop along the way, with the destination kept loose and the morning set aside for being outside.
Footpaths share the wider grounds with equestrian trails, while the Greek Theatre and the L.A. Zoo add other reasons to return. Early hours bring people out for morning sports. Keep this outing centered on walking, rather than trying to fold every attraction into the same day.
The park opens daily from 5 AM to ten thirty PM, with free entry. Observatory parking costs 10 dollars per hour. A free lot sits about a mile away, with a cash bus connection costing 50 cents. Decide on your parking approach before setting out, and leave time for the ride when you plan the walk.
