It wasn’t the best idea to go on a hike in the hills of Hollywood yesterday at a blazing 90°F! A couple friends and I loaded up in cars, packed water and cameras and went for a hike up to famous sign. Things didn’t look promising when we got to the top of Mulholland street as not one but two Hollywood police cars were guarding the entrance. We were heart broken and felt defeated but we decided to wait and maybe they would go on a donut break but not coffee because it was surely too hot for even the cops to have their coffee on this sweaty day. After they left we pasted many signs that said no hiking, a one hundread and three dollar fine wasn’t going to stop us or the threat of jail time. Up and around the hills leading all the way to the top of this sign. Once we reached the top we ended up behind the letters H O L L Y W O O D yes they are very large and spaced out when you get up there. No, you can not sit on them because they are ginormous (45 Feet tall , from the H to the D is is over 450 Feet! From there we went under the fence via a hole that the hikers before us had probably started. It was just a little more of a trek to the sign going down the step, rocky, dirty hill and we made it! We were at the top of the world … OK well the top of Hollywood and it felt good. As we started to walk down the letters starting at H then making our way to O between the O and L there is a censer that goes off and calls security. After 7 minutes or so they got on the loud speaker and said we have you on camera, you must leave immediately, or we will do bad things. I don’t remember the rest of what she said but you get the idea. We ran back up the hill very fast and I hopped the fence to get back over. Right at that moment a cop showed up. He didn’t seem to give a hoot just that we were not at the sign and behind the fence. We left and that was a wrap. We made it and I touched the Hollywood sign! Maybe you were looking at the sign and saw lil ant people around the HOLLY part, well that was us!
