    Note to self , next time bring more water . Slight dehydration upon decent leads to a non fun rest of the evening . Other than that this was an amazing experience

      Just be careful man, drag a gallon of water around next time you do this sort of thing.

      One option, get yourself a camel back. Lots of water on your back.

    Wow, that was quite a daunting hike. Definitely would have pulled a Clark Griswold at the Grand Canyon as soon as we saw that trail on the other side of the canyon.

    Instead of drinking Gatorade you should make yourself daily pitchers of fresh lemon-lime aid and carry it with you to drink. Unlike plain water it will not make you feel sick to your stomach when you are out on these long hikes on hot days. Lemon and limes are high in potassium and magnesium and other minerals that the body needs to function properly especially before, during, and after intense exercise.

    Way back in 1986, my husband and I were on our honeymoon and we drove right alongside the sign. I guess you can't do that anymore. I had him take a picture out the window, but nothing can compare to the sight of those gigantic letters - it was impressive to say the least. One of your best videos - that's why YOU are THE BEST! Take care and stay safe!

  • @jasonhostler138

    Adam, the plant you saw is commonly known as a dog tick or castor bean plant. The beans that grow from that plant are used in the production of castor oil and also contain the highly poisonous ricin.

    That is "The long and winding road". Feel like you should have a four legged friend with you. Like a DOG :) Bet a dog would love that walk. Awesome views from up there. & the OH for the back of the first part of the HOLLYWOOD sign. Well done for making to the summit and those majestic views you were soaking in. AWESOME to see. & You must have been so thirsty when you finally got to the bottom to get some water. Great video. Thank you.

    Hahaha when and where you first started off I laughed and thought that boy is crazy. hats off to you! You really walked far and I would have had that water drank up by the time I got to the first parking area. I'm pretty sure those horses at that corral are for rent and you can ride them, I think its cheaper with a larger group. Also there is a parking area right above the horse place you can drive to and park and then walk up from there if you want next time, that's where we take visiting family. It is a very pretty view. You should walk up runyon canyon trail for a great view of Hollywood sometime if you haven't already. Also I have never looked into it with my columbo skills but I have always been told that to intro to the andy griffith show was filmed around the Hollywood lake down there. I have wanted to hike around it for awhile. You get up there from barham past Universal if you are ever interested. Good job man don't know how you do it in black my friend, I'd be a sweaty nasty mess =)

    This is why I love these blogs.. seen this sign so many times in films and now I got a personal video of it,nothing is better than that for a guy who lives 10 000 or more from this icon... Have no idea how many miles it is from Oslo to L.A but it takes me ca 14 hours on a plane to get there....

    That was one of my first hikes too when I moved to Burbank. That stable is called Sunset Ranch, they are one of the leading forces that closed down one of the closer access points to the Hollywood Sign trail.
    Would love to be your guide to a few of the waterfalls in the San Gabriel Mountains!
