Hollywood Sign
@taylorelfstrom
Ignore all the addresses you might search for the Hollywood sign—there is no street access to the sign, and parking in the neighborhoods is prohibited (they do ticket for this). To get a great photo of the Hollywood sign, head to Lake Hollywood Park. This spot offers the perfect view of the front of the sign.
If you want to hike up to the back of the sign, you can park your car at the park and walk to the Innsdale Trailhead (6100 Innsdale Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90068). You might also find parking closer to the trailhead since it’s on the same road as the park. From there, you'll see many people walking towards the sign. There will be a point where you exit onto a neighborhood street—just take a left and keep going until you see "The Last House on Mulholland" (you can Google this address) or signs indicating that this is not the way to the Hollywood sign. It is—just keep walking, following the path and the crowds.
The path is mostly dirt, so keep that in mind when choosing your shoes.

Hey there! I'm Taylor, a travel enthusiast based in sunny Los Angeles, California, though my roots trace back to the charming state of Michigan. With a passion for exploring the world, I've roamed across 24 states in the U.S. and visited 6 incredible countries: Canada, the Dominican Republic, France, Italy, Dubai, and Monaco.
Travel isn't just a hobby for me; it's a way of life. I thrive on immersing myself in different cultures and uncovering hidden gems. My specialty? Creating engaging content and stunning videos of unique locations, Airbnbs, and hotels, packed with recommendations to make your travel experience unforgettable.
While I dream of luxury travel, I'm just an average person with a realistic budget. I love discovering free activities and occasionally splurging on the truly special moments. Meeting locals and getting insider tips is my favorite part of any trip – it’s all about blending in and experiencing life as they do.
I'm not a travel agent; I'm someone who loves to travel and share my adventures, so you don’t have to spend hours searching for the perfect spot. Recently, I embarked on a solo adventure in France, living in Paris and the French Riviera for three amazing months.
Through personalized travel recommendations and detailed guides, I aim to help you travel like a pro. Whether it's avoiding the tourist traps or discovering off-the-beaten-path wonders, I've got you covered. I pride myself on offering tips and tricks to help you blend in like a local.
