WHERE ON EARTH?
WHY GO:

Why not take the bike to one of the most iconic views in Los Angeles? It´s a climb, but you get rewarded with the greatest overview of LA City and surroundings. And you´ll see the Hollywood sign on your way!

 

DESCRIPTION:

This tour starts in Hollywood, which is easily accessible with the Metro B Line. You start cycling in the streets on bikelanes, and there will be cars around you.

 

As you enter the Griffith Park the hills start, and you will be climbing steadily for the next 4 km. You see the mountains ahead and the view opens up as you follow the winding roads. The Hollywood sign is visible in the distance. Be prepared to share the roads with cars, but as they must wait in line and pay for parking you can simply find your way to the top as you reach the Observatory.

 

From the top you will see all the way to downtown LA and you really get an impression on how big this city is. It´s a very popular attraction so you won´t be alone, but one of few on a bike! Enjoy the easy ride down. 

Have a great trip!
