Conservation Note
Trails in the Santa Monica range are sensitive to erosion and informal routes; stick to marked paths, avoid widening trails, and pack out trash to reduce impact.
The Hollywood Sign began as a 1923 real-estate advertisement reading “Hollywoodland”; the last four letters were removed in 1949 and it has since become an international cultural landmark.
