Visitors to Los Angeles who enjoy hiking should consider one of the many routes through Griffith Park and surrounding areas to get to the top of Mount Lee. The famous Hollywood sign is located on the south face of Mount Lee near the summit.

On this day we hiked from the Innsdale trailhead. This is probably the shortest and least difficult way to access Mount Lee. It also one of the the lower impact hikes in terms of bothering some of the fairly NIMBY neighbors that live around this part of Los Angeles.

There's a small pedestrian gate to the left side of this large car gate, just before the start of the Mount Lee Drive section of the walk. This area seems to have attained a few more gates and fences recently, but should remain accessible during daylight hours.

This is the view from the summit of Mount Lee facing south. Downtown Los Angeles, Koreatown, mid-Wiltshire, etc all the way out to Palos Verdes and Catalina on a clear day.

I turned on GPS tracking for this hike, this is the basic Innsdale hike to Mount Lee.
