Driving Tour of Glorified Laurel Canyon and Residential Streets 4K
Driving on Laurel Canyon and all the more or less significant residential streets that branch out of it, including Kirkwood, Lookout Mountain, Wonderland and Loma Vista Drive.
This 4K video is shot with a wide angle view, so you can see some homes and cliff views.
Sidewalks? What Sidewalks!
If you think it's impossible to have sidewalks in the hills, watch the video of Mt. Olympus, a next door neighborhood, so to say!
Laurel Canyon found itself a nexus of counterculture activity and attitudes in the 1960s, becoming famous as home to many of L.A.'s rock musicians, such as Frank Zappa; Jim Morrison of The Doors; Carole King; The Byrds; Buffalo Springfield; Canned Heat; John Mayall; members of the band The Eagles; the band Love; Neil Young; and Micky Dolenz & Peter Tork of The Monkees. Tork's home was considered one of Laurel Canyon's biggest party houses with all-night, drug-fueled sleepovers well attended by the hippest musicians and movie stars of the era.
John Phillips of the Mamas & the Papas took inspiration from their home in Laurel Canyon in the song "Twelve Thirty" a.k.a. "Twelve Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming to the Canyon)", released in 1967.
In 1968, John Mayall recorded and released Blues from Laurel Canyonbased on his experiences on a vacation earlier that year.
Famed photographer Henry Diltz was also a resident and used the scenic Canyon backdrop for many of his historic photos of rock musicians casually socializing. Several of his photos became iconic representations of the 1960s & 1970's West Coast music scene and many others became famous album sleeve covers (such as CSN's debut album: Crosby, Stills & Nash - photographed in nearby West Hollywood).
Joni Mitchell, living in the home in the Canyon that was immortalized in the song, "Our House" (1970), written by her then-lover Graham Nash, would use the area and its denizens as inspiration for her third album, Ladies of the Canyon (1970). Crosby, Stills, and Nash are reputed to have first sung together in her living room.
Musician J. Tillman has said that his output under the moniker Father John Misty was partly inspired by a relocation to and personal reinvention in Laurel Canyon. The song "I Went to the Store One Day," from his 2015 album I Love You, Honeybear, recounts the story of how Tillman met his wife, Emma, in the parking lot of the Laurel Canyon Country Store.

Road just disappears at times. Feel for the fedex, trash, ups trucks that have to navigate it.
Very cool drive!
I once tried turning onto Lookout Mountain and immediately started having a panic attack due to the narrow, windy road and constant onslaught of oncoming traffic. I pulled a U-turn on Horseshoe Canyon and drove back out to Laurel Canyon. Lookout Mountain isn't even that bad by Laurel Canyon standards!
Very scenic & beautiful but tough driving. One wrong move & down you go
Still would love to live there!! Even without sidewalks, people are still out talking to each other, walking their dogs... most of those side streets are never meant for TOO much through traffic anyway. All of those places are over their carports and well enough above the street and private enough, like hundreds of little garage apartments. Theres alot of those Japanese village style condos too. The walkable parts of the canyon stretch of LCB is the along the old road, which runs from Hollywood to Lockout Mtn. and the Canyon store atleast. There's a bus line to the Valley! The side roads, you just take your chances walking or biking in the middle of. The Canyons are "enclavey", they're not meant to be sidewalk communities. Now, having a garbage truck just under your window in the morning might be annoying, and the low hum and squeal of a car creeping through in the middle of the night might get spooky at times... but I could get used to it. I'd find a place with the bedrooms away from the street side.
7:22 - Weirdly, you see dashcam footage of a car driving through this same stretch of road at night in the TH-cam video "Slash: Raised on the Sunset Strip".
Oh my gosh! I couldn't live up there. To crowded for me.
32:30 to 33:20 They said f--k it, we're just going dig into the hillside for space. 😁😁 There must be a fair amount of subterraneans up there too.
Where is Micky Dolenz's old home?
5:05 - Oops. I sometimes miss a hidden stop sign too …
Do famous people live in any of these houses? Or do they live on private streets, not open to the public?
There's a few sidewalks....😁😁
Stop signs ? What stop signs ?
You know a fair amount of foreign nationals live up there too, after so many Americans moved out because they heard a car horn from two miles away and thought ghetto urbana was encroaching upon them.... or they like... saw another person... and it gave them an anxiety attack. You know, most people are happy to not be crowded in a tenement and not living in an actual dangerous place. While most people expect their own private island everywhere they move to, yet turn around and complain about being 10 miles away from everything. Most people just don't want to learn how to and appreciate living in certain kinds of communities and living environments, and be happy their not actually living in a Kowloon City or New Delhi slum.....
To many garbage cans. Where are the beautiful homes?

Nobody needs sidewalks in Laurel Canyon.... they all have expensive cars, or use Uber, driven by underpaid drivers.
