Worth the short drive to one of the best hiking trails in LA above Lake Hollywood. Takes about 20-30 minutes to get to the top for 360 degrees of all of LA . If game, you can continue on the saddle to end up behind the HOLLYWOOD sign. Wear shoes/boots with good traction and be careful on loose top soil towards bottom on the way down.
