Bikes and Hikes LA boasts the OFFICIAL Hollywood Sign Hike– we take you closer to the Hollywood Sign than any other company in Los Angeles. Our Official Hollywood Sign Hike is the best way to kick off the summer. Clocking in at 2.5 hours, this hike is a 3.5 mile round trip walk up to and behind the Hollywood Sign. Your local guide will regale you with all of the latest Hollywood gossip, history of the area, and made-for-the-movies stories about all of the area’s unique filming history. You won’t find any better views of Los Angeles or guides anywhere else who are as passionate about LA as our all-star guides. Book your 4th of July Hollywood Sign Hike here.

-Take a Hollywood Sign Hike…but make it Express!

There’s always that one person on vacation with you that’s the go-getter. The early bird who wants to check off item #2457 on their trip agenda AND go for a run AND hit that new museum exhibit AND grab a quick bite at that buzzy new fusion pop-up…all before brunch at noon. (To which you KNOW they’ll be 10 minutes early.) Perhaps…YOU are that person. If so, WE SEE YOU, and boy, do we have a new adventure for you. We’re so psyched to announce the rollout of our latest, greatest LA tour – The OFFICIAL Hollywood Sign Express Hike! This brand new hike tour is the EXPRESS version of our OFFICIAL HOLLYWOOD SIGN HIKE (above)- but faster! You’ll meet your guide below the Hollywood Sign and take a quick 1.5 hour walk up behind the sign and wrap up in front of the Hollywood Sign- all while hearing all of our guides’ fascinating Hollywood tales, snag the best views of LA, AND grab the BEST Instagram photos of the Hollywood Sign you could ever imagine. This quick walk will leave you energized, sun-kissed, and ready to check off one more bucket list item from your itinerary. You could sneak in this hike and THEN meet up with the rest of your group…let’s face it, they’re probably all still waking up. Don’t worry, you’ll meet them at brunch afterwards. Book your Hollywood Sign Express Hike here.
