The Hollywood Sign sits on Mount Lee, the tallest peak in Los Angeles. It measures 450 feet long and each letter is 45 feet tall. These days, it's not possible to get near the sign itself, but there are a few good places to take pictures.

Nice clear view from a block up the street. If you go a little further up Beachwood Canyon, you'll find the entrance to the original Hollywoodland subdivision.

Not only can you see the sign from here, but the Griffith Observatory is one of the must-visit places in LA. Not the best place for photograph of the sign, but amazing views all around.
