Brush Canyon to Mount Lee

This Hollywood Sign hike starts in the Brush Canyon parking lot and goes up Brush Canyon Trail and Mulholland Trail to the Tyrolean Tank for the most popular viewpoint of the sign and then turns back to summit Mt. Lee, behind the Hollywood Sign.

This tour is the wildest of the bunch and offers encounters with four major ecological communities in Southern California: Coastal Sage Scrub, Riparian, Chaparral, and Oak Woodland.

In this setting we touch on the Gabrieleño/Tongva/Kizh first Californians and find the connections between these cultures and the ecology that shaped them.
