I'm headed to LA for my birthday this Friday!

What is the quickest, easiest way to get the closest to the Hollywood sign? (without getting on a horse!) Ready to hike!

Please give an address so we can put it in the Nav! I read on Yelp that parking near 3390 Deronda Drive will get us to a gate where we can park & make the hike.

Thanks in advance for your input!

The very best way involves trespassing. Which, in that neighborhood, I do not recommend. Try:

Hollywood Sign (http://www.hollywoodsign.org/see.html - broken link)

So I've heard lol! If I lived in LA I maaaay chance it. But since I'm only visiting I don't want to end up in jail on my birthday! Although a ticket/fine stating "making love to the Hollywood sign while trespassing" would be one ticket that I would love to frame ;~)

You can get a pretty good view of the Hollywood sign from one of the overlooks on Mulholland Dr. (It will be the first one going onto Mulholland Dr. where it meets Woodrow Wilson from Cahuenga West.)

Default Hollywood Sign

The closest I got to the Hollywood sign was going the way of Mulholland Dr.

Go to the Observatory. Great view of the sign and you can act out the knife scene from Rebel Without a Cause.
