About Hollywood Hills

The Hollywood Hills rise above the city as a band of free open space and trails, from the Cahuenga Pass preserves to the overlooks above the Hollywood Bowl. Winding roads, hidden staircases and panoramic viewpoints define the area.

It's one of the best places in LA for a free hike or a scenic drive, with Griffith Park and Runyon Canyon anchoring either end of the hills.
