a real hidden gem in LA. I'm so glad we found this spot on such a beautiful spring day. Although allergies were in full swing, the views were worth it. Hillsides were covered with yellow blooms and the little spots of shade made it feel like a little reprieve. I would recommend going early in the morning, or after 3pm but before 6pm (closes) to avoid the heat. There isn't much shade on the walk and it takes about 1 hour to walk the whole thing at a leisurely pace. People had bikes and scooters to get around, but no dogs are allowed. It's a quiet, nice place to walk and contemplate, and maybe even paint. There aren't too many LA locals there- many seem like tourists. It's always the tourists that know the city better than us locals! I highly recommend this place, it seems like the best view of the Hollywood sign, but out of the craziness that...

Grew up on Wonderview Place, at "The Circle" a street above Lake Hollywood (what we always called it) and the hills all around the Hollywood Resevoir were where I spent my days. No fences, no borders or boundaries kept me from exploring my "backyard" I was off and running, sometimes with a lunch packed by mom, knowing I wouldn't be home until "the streetlights came on." My best loved memories are from those amazing days of my childhood and adolescence. How lucky I was to live in such a privileged and magical wonderland. I'm fortunate to live by the beach now, and I'm not too far away, so I do come back to visit and reflect. Thank you mom and dad, for buying that house & raising me in those Hollywood Hills. I will miss you and those sweet days for the...

Definitely go hiking here to get the closest and clearest view of the Hollywood sign. You can either go around the reservoir or go uphill (I went uphill). The path starts off quiet lonely with not enough traffic and rails, separating view of the reservoir, but as you start ascending the hill, the view is worth it. You reach a gate and have to take right on Lake Tahoe Dr and then left uphill following the Hollywood sign. You will eventually reach a dirt road but you keep going, keep following the sign and you will get your closest, best view. Great place to take pictures.
No proper placed to sit down and relax/picnic, except for may be shades of trees on the dirt road.
Total hike from where uber dropped me off to the sign is about 4.5 miles....
