Her Health: Hike to the Hollywood Sign (video)

Wednesday, July 1, 2009 by Samantha Clarke



I mentioned a surprise before, this is not it! I'm still sorting and editing hundreds of pictures. Right now I want to share my hike with you. The purpose: to get my workout on and to get the perfect shot with the famous billboard.

I headed up Canyon Lake Drive by foot because there is absolutely no parking on the hill itself. As you get higher up the hill, the road narrows and the residents don’t welcome tourists and their vehicles. I was warned very clearly that they WILL call the “Popo” on you. *Lol*

So up the hill I went, on a winding dusty path that was desolate at noon on a Monday, except for the random creatures that scared the crap out of me from time to time. No shade, no water, and cacti everywhere –the closest to the desert I ever want to get. I went up and around the loop, up the hill near the sign through the houses and back down. Could have been about 3 or 4 miles, but who knows. I tried to use MapMyRun, but since the path went off the road it wasn't possible. Take a look at the view, it was pretty amazing.
