    I followed your video for a Christmas Day walk. As a tourist who gets nervous because I have a poor sense of direction, I found this very helpful and can’t thank you enough. We missed the turn to the back of the sign but remembered your video and found our way.

    My wife and I just did this today and we followed your video exactly, from where to park, all the way up to the very top, and the detour to the viewpoint.. This video was super helpful! Thank you for posting!

    Thank you so much for this video!! I was not planning on hiking to the Hollywood sign because I didn't know you could. I was looking for climbing the famous step in L.A. BUT after watching this video I am going to do both! This is going to be a great adventure because I love nature and I love hiking!!!

  • @RaceForGoodLife
    @RaceForGoodLife ปีที่แล้ว +7

    great! I live on L.A. for over 20 years and never have seen the Hollywood sign that close! definitely doing the hike this weekend!😊😊

    This was the perfect guide! Your video was clear and memorable. We found the car park no problem, photographed the map (your great tip!), and easily followed the route you described. We even remembered you saying the middle mile of the three was more flat, a rest we enjoyed before the mile-three climb to the peak. What a splendid hike! Great work, thank you!

    I have lived in LA for over 30 years now and I've done various hikes along the way but never bothered to do the Hollywood Sign. I'm older now and have a lung condition that prevents me from doing anything too strenuous which is a total bummer. I work with a lot of out of towners who ask me about the "hike to the Hollywood sign" and I always feel lacking because I have never done it. This video is exactly what I need to share with those looking to do this hike. Editing is spot on as it highlights the trail and the various sections very well. This is the best video of the hike that I have seen. It makes me want to try it even though I don't think I could make it all the way. I also like sharing your hiking guy website as it is very useful with all the maps.
    Thank you so much for doing this!!

    Did the hike this morning, waited till sunrise to arrive at the park. It had been open since at least 5:30am according to locals who hike it frequently. Aside from that, really excellent source of information. Appreciate you for it!

    Going to Hollywood in a few weeks, first time ever visiting the state of California. I’ve studied your video and I think I am ready for this hike! Thanks! I’m a little bit scared of heights, but I have to experience this! Wish me luck! I’ll be back to let you guys know how it went. I’m so excited!

    • @Hikingguy
      @Hikingguy  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I wouldn't say there are more than usual, all trailheads are usually a target for break-ins unfortunately. th-cam.com/video/HC5fzVMm4vU/w-d-xo.html

    Thank you! Your very concise instructions provided for an excellent experience. The use of hiking poles made the ascent (and descent) much more controlled, especially with a backpack full of water, which I purchased and froze the day before the hike. Not only are the views spectacular, enjoy looking at the vegetation and rock formations. Thank you again for this guide.

    Another great video Hiking Guy! I just recently started wearing Danner 2650 Campo shoes after wearing Altra Lone Peak 6's. You should give em a try, pretty comfortable and versatile, though they are an 8mm shoe.
