Hike to the Hollywood Bowl

About this experience

See another side of Hollywood on this 1.6-mile urban hike from the Hollywood Bowl to the "Secret Stairs." We'll pass by unique homes and their famous owners in an area only accessible by the stairs or private elevator. Then, descending back into the Bowl, we'll stop for pictures before climbing to the top of the 17,500-seat amphitheater. We'll take in glorious views of the Hollywood sign and the surrounding Hollywood Hills to cap off this truly memorable experience.
