Hollywood Hike Trails

Though most people picture sprawling urban streets and skyscrapers when they think of Los Angeles, this city is actually home to some amazing hiking trails. Wander along the rolling chaparral of the Santa Monica Mountains, and make your way along the lush, verdant paths at Griffith Park. You can scale Mount Lee’s 1,708-foot summit and even make your way to the massive aluminum letters that make up the Hollywood sign. 

From the top of Mount Lee, you can see the wonders of Los Angeles in all its breathtaking glory, from the skyscrapers downtown to the crashing waves along Santa Monica Pier. Runyon Canyon is another area you’ll want to explore, featuring 130 acres of undeveloped wilderness in the Hollywood Hills.

This isn’t your average Hollywood bus tour. The NY Daily News called the Dearly Departed Tour “a trip down bad memory lane,” and if you’re compelled by the dark and tragic side of Hollywood, this is one of the cool attractions in Los Angeles that won’t disappoint. 

Venture through Los Angeles and the Sunset Strip, and visit the locations of some of Hollywood’s most infamous scenes. You’ll see where Sharon Tate had her last meal and where Hugh Grant was arrested for getting “friendly” with a local lady of the night. 

You’ll visit the Viper Room, the infamous Hollywood rock club where actor River Phoenix was set to perform a rock music gig before tragically overdosing.

10. Hit the Waves in Malibu

12. Go Skydiving

Skydiving

Even if you climb to the top of Mount Lee on the clearest day of the year, your view of Los Angeles is still somewhat limited. If you want to see the full valley in all of its unobstructed glory, you’ll need to take a skydiving trip.

Tandem skydiving is the perfect excursion for intrepid adventurers, and companies like Skydive Perris make it easy to experience this one-of-a-kind rush.
