Sunset Ranch Hollywood

3400 N. Beachwood Dr., Hollywood 90068 323-469-5450 View Website

If you enjoy horseback riding, you will relish the experience of a guided trail ride from Sunset Ranch Hollywood, the only horse ranch in greater Los Angeles. Centrally located in the beautiful Hollywood Hills, with the iconic sign above and Griffith Park nearby, Sunset Ranch offers a variety of services and activities, from guided trail rides, boarding, and lessons to its famous Sunset Dinner Rides. In the 1920s, the film industry came to Los Angeles to take advantage of the sunny weather and scenic locations, especially for Westerns. A piece of that Hollywood history can still be found at Sunset Ranch.

Aerial Views

10750 Sherman Way, Burbank 91505 818-561-4838 View Website

While the hiking route will be the most physically rewarding way to view the sign, an air tour will undoubtedly prove to be the most extravagant - not to mention the most stylish. Flying out of the oceanfront heliport at the Queen Mary in Long Beach, IEX Helicopters takes passengers up close to the Hollywood Sign and soaring over landmarks from the coast to the skyscrapers of Downtown L.A. Group 3 Aviation offers a 30-minute "Hooray for Hollywood Tour," or a 45-minute flight that combines Hollywood and the beach. You can also "Fly & Dine," a tour that starts with dinner at the 94th Aero Squadron restaurant in Van Nuys. You can also fly with Star Helicopters, which will allow you to view the sign in both its "Star VIP" tour or the shortened "Hollywood and More" tour for those who don't want to commit to the entire city. And for those who want to celebrate a special occasion while getting up close, Orbic Air has you covered, with specially themed packages for upcoming holidays.
