How to Get to the Top of the Hollywood Sign

by | Sep 10, 2022 | Adventure, California, Group Fun, Things to Do

Did you know the Hollywood sign is located in the middle of a puzzling maze??

Take the wrong turn and infrared cameras will embarrassingly rat you out to everyone!

A stern voice over a loud speaker will yell, “Turn back now, dumbass!” (Paraphrased 😜)

Out of the Maze – Almost to The Top

Ignore that warning and a helicopter will spotlight your location until officers can haul ya off to serve up to 6 months in jail and pay $1,000 in fines.

DO NOT PASS GO!!
DO NOT COLLECT $200!!

…or you can skip the paddy wagon and go with a local guide who knows all the ins and outs to get you to the best views and photo ops without issue, like Joe 😏

In all seriousness, Griffith Park (where the Hollywood sign is located) is one of the largest parks in the United States (nearly 5X bigger than New York’s Central Park). It isn’t easy to find your way around with trails headed in every direction. Thankfully, Joe invited us to hike with him 🙏

This experience was a blast! He shared fun facts, cracked the best dad jokes 😜 and took us places we could have never found on our own.

Joe Thompson – Experience Creator

“Hi, I’m Joe.  I got started in 2017 when I kept experiencing the same problem: How do I get to the top of the Hollywood Sign? The trails in Griffith Park are difficult to navigate and I figured I wasn’t the only person having this problem. I also wanted to keep my acting and comedic skills sharp in between auditions and this turned into the perfect job for me. We’ve taken over 50k people to the top of the Hollywood Sign and made friends that would last a lifetime. We love entertaining folks and acting as the de facto “LA Ambassadors” to the world! Creating memories and friendships that span across the globe is immensely important to us.”
