Hollywood, Baby!

We are on a roll people. We have crossed off another to-do from our Sand Bucket List. AND we went hiking for the second time in two weeks (I’m still reeling from the shock). We decided to tackle the Hollywood Sign hike and bring the pups along with us.
After last weekend’s hiking adventure we were totally prepared for another 2 hour hike. Thankfully, the path we chose was more of a leisurely stroll than the death hike we encountered last week. I think we were up and down in within 30 minutes after snapping 20 or so touristy photos. There are plenty of more strenuous hikes around the sign but since we had the dogs we decided a stroll was more our speed.
We used this site to decide where to start. The drive up to the hills is actually really neat. Lots of windy roads and awesome views. The houses were also amazing!
Once we “arrived at our destination” per our trusty Garmin we found ourselves at a fancy dog park with real grass and everything. The dogs were in hog dog heaven. After a quick romp in the park we turned our sites to the trail. It was nice that we could see the sign the entire way up.
The view from the “top.” The actual top is completely off limits. You can’t actually get to the sign, it’s against the law.
The Sign website claims fire risk, rattlesnakes and mountain loins as a few possible encounters on the ascent to the top. We happily stayed in the designated area and still got quite the money shot.
So, that’s how we crossed another thing off of our Bucket List. Did you do anything adventurous this weekend?
