Description
This wide dirt path is often used on the Hollywood Sign and Bronson Caves featured hike, but can be taken further east to Mt. Hollywood Drive toward Mt. Bell. The grade of this one is relatively flat heading west from the Brush Canyon Trail, which makes for a well-earned respite from the climbing needed to get up that trail. Heading east, the trail takes a brief uptick in grade as it tops out at Mt. Hollywood Drive.
