Climbing.

Almost every cinema lover caught in Los Angeles trying to even corner of my eye, but see the famous inscription «Hollywood», which is located on the slopes of the peak in Lee Santa Monica Mountains. But once the sign was just an advertisement to attract the attention of buyers in the new area in the Hollywood Hills. Today we take a walk to the famous labels and find out where it can be photographed.




Roads in Gollivudkih Hills meander, and if you feel that you are moving in the direction of the sign, it is not always true. Therefore, rely on intuition and trust GPS-y. Here are the exact coordinates Google places where you can stop by the car (34.129223, -118.314736). This patch is placed just half a dozen cars, and wanting more. Come out early in the morning if you want to find parking, or wait until someone leaves. Turn on a narrow mountain street is not easy, the slope of a steep davolno need a 4x4 to drive up the hill and take a U-turn. Machinery stalled drivers are nervous pylischa around. For those who wish to take a walk, drive two blocks to the north on the Avenue of Stars that Gollivudkom Boulevard to Franklin Avenue, and then east to Beechwood Drive. Turn in naprovlenii inscriptions and step up. The main thing in any case did not go to the streets of Beachwood, otherwise you will wander through the hills until the evening.



When you get to the parking lot, get a sign «Hollywood Trail» and head up the sandy road, that for her. Gollivudkaya inscription will be behind you. Be sure to take this with water, put on comfortable shoes and clothing. Ascent takes about an hour, the same amount the trigger, add more time on shooting.



We continue to climb. There will be another pointer to the «Hollywood Trail». Usually at this point, everyone is starting to take the first pictures, but do not waste time, go over there opened much better views.



Soon on your way to meet the ranch "Sunset." Here you can take a horse and ride in the hills.



Horses leave a lot of organic fertilizers on the road in the form of manure piles. Look carefully at his feet.



This fork from the main trail to the left goes steeply up a narrow lane. We were there.



When it comes to the edge of the hill, be careful, it can crumble.



Well, we are already half way to the goal.



There Peschannaja trail rests on the paved road. Turn right. But if you do not want to climb a mountain, go left safely. During turn opens the best view of the inscription below.



The path to the right allows you to cut 300 meters way.



We go out on the road and continue to go to the top.



You might question why we left the car at the bottom? After all, there is an excellent paved road. Yes, there is, but it can pass on only those who are directly served by the radio tower on a hilltop.

on the way to the top, you can see what is on the opposite side of the hill - the city of Glendale and the Verdugo Mountains.



. If you get to a stone with a memorial sign, you know you are very close to the target.



Here a fence blocking access to the letters of the inscription. On pillars camcorder.



Wicket and flimsy lock. This is the closest distance at which you can get closer to the mark. They say if you climb over the fence, the police will appear in about 15 minutes, and punish large fine.



A look at the surrounding area through the mesh fence fun unpleasant, so we go higher, past the tower. It offers a great view of everything around. Ideal for panoramas



The inscription can be photographed all entirely.



It seems that the letters cut out of cardboard, but it's not. Each letter has its own "master", a man who is sponsoring the renovation and care.



Congratulations, you are at an altitude of 521 meters above sea level. Radio tower on the peak of Lee.

Smoking is prohibited in the hills. This was rigorously monitored in view of the frequent fires.



Try not to linger on the hills too late. By nightfall to hunt out cute cat the size of a tiger, it is a cougar.
