Every Los Angeles postcard starts with those nine white letters on the hill — and this is your chance to stand right next to them, not just admire them from a lookout a mile away. The Hollywood Sign Hike from Bikes and Hikes LA takes you first to the front of the sign for that perfect, iconic photo, and then — the part most tours never offer — behind the letters to the closest legally accessible viewpoint in the whole city.
Your expert guide leads the whole adventure and captures both of your big moments, so you can actually enjoy the trail instead of worrying about the camera. Riders of this experience love the two-in-one format: the classic front-of-the-sign shot everyone comes to LA for, plus the rare behind-the-letters perspective that feels like a backstage pass to Hollywood itself.
Logistics are friendly, too. Pick the full 2.5-hour hike (front AND behind) for the complete experience, or grab the 90-minute express option to the front if time is tight. With a stellar 4.9-star rating from more than 1,600 happy reviews — and features in the New York Times, The Today Show, USA Today and the LA Times — this is LA’s most trusted way to meet its most famous landmark up close. Tours start from just $29.
