Runyon Canyon Road Hiking Path
Runyon Canyon Road Hiking PathThis is a great way to see Hollywood from its hills… and all it cities beauty.
This is the shortest way to go.
Level of difficulty: Moderate
Round-trip distance: 2.8 miles
Time: 1–2 hours
Route: Out and back
Dogs allowed: Yes
The Brush Canyon Trail is one of the shortest hikes to the Hollywood Sign.
The 2.8-mile path is a wide dirt road with a steady incline. Some parts of the trail get pretty rocky—they can be pretty challenging if you’re not wearing proper hiking shoes, so come prepared.
The best part about the Brush Canyon Trail is that it’s not as crowded as other Hollywood Sign hikes. It goes without saying that the views at the top are as gorgeous as ever.
