One of the easiest ways to climb to the peak of Mount Hollywood is a 3.8-mile loop trail through Griffith Park.
The hike starts near the Greek Theatre on Vermont Avenue and gains 807 feet by the time you reach the summit, promising stretches of sharp incline and a good workout that can be completed in about an hour and a half. The first steep part is a wide fire road, which eventually flattens out and turns into a more narrow, rugged firebreak. Once you are on top, the views of the entire L.A. basin and the Griffith Observatory will make it all worthwhile. Watch out for rattlesnakes. Map
