The Experience

We were already halfway up the dirt trail when Grizz—one of the comedians’ dogs—decided I was his new hiking buddy. He nudged my hand every few steps, probably hoping for a snack (I didn’t have any, sorry Grizz). Our guide, Sarah, cracked jokes about LA traffic and pointed out a spot where some old movie scenes were filmed. The air smelled like dry grass and sunscreen, and someone’s laughter echoed off the hillside. I kept thinking: this is not how I pictured a Hollywood Sign tour.

The group was small—just eight of us plus three dogs who seemed to know the trail better than anyone. We stopped at a lookout where Sarah lined us up for photos, making sure everyone got that perfect shot with the Sign behind them (she’s got an eye for angles). The skyline looked kind of hazy but in a good way—like LA was still waking up. Mozart (the dog, not the composer) flopped down in the dust and let me scratch his ears while Sarah told a story about her worst audition ever. I laughed so hard I almost missed her pointing out Griffith Observatory in the distance.

I didn’t expect to feel so relaxed on such a quick day trip to the Hollywood Sign from central LA. Maybe it was the dogs or maybe just being around people who don’t take themselves too seriously. At one point someone tried to say “Hollywood” in Mandarin and Li—the other guide—laughed so hard she nearly dropped her water bottle. It’s funny what sticks with you after these things; I still think about that goofy group photo with Scout licking my shoe right as they snapped it.

What’s included

Your day includes a guided 75-minute express walk led by local comedians accompanied by their friendly dogs, stops at two top Hollywood Sign viewpoints for photos and stories, plus plenty of water along the way so you won’t go thirsty—even if you’re laughing half the time.
