Conservation Note
Trails in the Santa Monica Mountains are erosion-prone—stay on established routes, pack out trash, and avoid riding in soft, muddy conditions to protect fragile soils.
The sign started as ‘Hollywoodland’ in 1923 as a real estate promotion; over decades it became the cultural symbol for the film industry and a hallmark of LA recreation.
