The route passes Lake Hollywood Park and continues through the Hollywood Hills, offering views of celebrity homes and the Hollywood Reservoir, a man-made lake supplying water to Los Angeles since 1924. The trail ascends Mount Lee, providing views of the Hollywood Sign from both sides, as well as sights of Griffith Park, the Griffith Observatory, and surrounding neighborhoods. Along the way, the guide points out landmarks including the Hollywood Bowl concert venue, the Capitol Records Building, and views of Burbank, Glendale, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, the San Fernando Valley, and the Sunset Strip.
