Before I visit a landmark or typical tourist location I read from others comments and reviews on google maps to get an idea and how I can add more, go a little beyond whats already been posted.just before the summer of 2019 I was coming to L.A t visit an old friend battling cancer, unfortunately he couldn’t join me for this trip because of his condition, but I set out to walk up behind the Hollywood sign. Most tourist understandably (9.5/10) are happy just to pose in front of the Hollywood sign as its a long swirling uphill walk to behind the sign. I had underestimated the length of this walk as it took me more than two hours to reach the top, I stopped for snacks and pictures, it was a warm day with clear skies and no smog so I picked a good day to do this, you could see L.A downtown behind the beautiful Hollywood hills homes, along the way got to know another traveler from Australia(you find them in most unusual places)
and let me tell you its worth it, just bring water, snacks and comfortable shoes . My review on Google maps has had over a million viewers, 10 likes and counting(the most so far)
