With Memorial Day Weekend, summer is officially here! If you live in sunny Southern California, it’s summer all year long, and we’re so excited to welcome you to LA to kick off your summer vacation. The forecast is usually clear for Memorial Day Weekend. 

Jump start your summer with a Memorial Day weekend trip to LA. Bikes and Hikes LA is going to hook you up with the best recommendations for your weekend trip to LA, including the best outdoor tours, dining, and outdoor attractions that are open. Here are the best things to do in LA this summer – starting with your Memorial Day!

The Official Hollywood Sign Hike – Walk to the Hollywood Sign!

Bikes and Hikes LA are ready to shout it from the rooftops – we now boast the OFFICIAL Hollywood Sign Hike and Walk to the Hollywood Sign! We’ve been offering our exclusive, official Hollywood Sign hikes for over a decade, and while there are similar copycat tour operators out there, our Hollywood Sign Hike is the official hike to the Hollywood Sign in Los Angeles.

We offer our hikes to the Hollywood Sign twice daily, and are unrolling an express version of our Hollywood Sign Hike this summer for the early bird travelers in your group! We will take you on the world’s most epic hike to the Hollywood Sign, where you’ll get the best views in Los Angeles and the best Instagram and Hollywood Sign TikToks you could imagine! 

LA Bike Rentals

Looking for good group outdoor activities in Los Angeles? Traveling with your family for the first time in 2021? Even as we rejoice in the return to normalcy, traveling in groups or traveling with family will always be a little bit of a lesson in planning, accounting for everyone’s needs, and needing to go with the flow. Rather than jamming your itinerary with a billion activities each second, how about you see LA on your own time- by treating yourself to our premium LA bike rentals? Bikes and Hikes LA, and our sister shop, Bike Shop LA, offer daily, weekly, and monthly LA bike rentals so that you’re able to see LA up close and personal on your trip!

Ebike Tours

Speaking of ebikes, a great way to spend Memorial Day 2021 with your family is by taking an electric bike tour of LA! Bikes and Hikes LA boasts 3 incredible, insanely fun daily bike tours of LA – our famous, popular “LA in a Day” Bike Tour, our iconic Hollywood Bike Adventure, and our star-studded Beverly Hills Bike Tour, our celebrity homes bike tour of Los Angeles! While all of those tours rock already, our top recommendation for things to do in LA for Memorial Day weekend is to upgrade to an electric bike tour of LA, and see the top sights in Hollywood while cruising at top speed! We offer an option for all guests to upgrade to an e-bike for all of our LA bike tours, and we can’t recommend it enough! We also have private, exclusive VIP bike tours- more on that below! Our ebike tours of Los Angeles are a great way to ease into the swing of things in LA, especially if there are members of your group who don’t have a lot of bike riding experience. Our LA ebike tours are as simple as- dare we say- riding a bike?

Outdoor Exploring- Hike in Runyon Canyon and Griffith Park!

We love to hike in LA. Hiking is part of our culture, it’s in our blood, and we can’t wait to hike with you this summer! No doubt your Memorial Day weekend plans include a barbecue or two (or three!! Live it up!) so why not get in a great LA workout beforehand by doing two of the most quintessential hikes in LA? Bikes and Hikes LA is located in the heart of West Hollywood, and one of our favorite places to hike and to spot celebrities is Runyon Canyon! Runyon Canyon, just steps away from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, is one of the best places to hike in LA. There are a number of trails filled with beautiful vistas and beautiful hikers! We’ll take you on an early morning hike tour of Runyon Canyon to get your blood pumping and get you up and at ’em first thing! Our private Runyon Canyon Hike tour is great for the early birds and go getters in your group, as well as anyone who’s ever dreamed about watching the sun rise over LA. Our other favorite outdoor hike tour is, of course, hiking in Griffith Park and hiking to the Hollywood Sign! Book any of our daily Hollywood Hills Hikes in Griffith Park or find out how to hike to the Hollywood Sign on our spectacular Hollywood Sign Hike Tour. We <3 hiking, and can’t wait to share it with you!
