Be blown away by the spectacular sights of nature near the Hollywood Sign. Pack a picnic and watch the sun dance across the Hollywood Hills as it lights up this iconic landmark. Or, take a walk outdoors along the Mt. Hollywood Trail in Griffith Park to get as up close and personal to the sign as allowed.

Enjoy a romantic ride down a scenic street in a horse-drawn carriage. Make a reservation with Enchanted Carriages for one of their beautiful carriages, which range from the pristine White Vis-à-vis to the fairytale-style Cinderella Coach. The carriages are decorated with lavish flower ornaments and can be tailored to meet your desired theme or colors.
