On the quiet side streets of Hollywood Dell you’ll get comfortable with the electric assist before the route eases up into the canyon roads. The ride weaves past the Hollywood Reservoir, threads into Griffith Park and makes a final, effortless ascent to Mount Lee — the viewpoint above the Hollywood Sign — where a short snack break and photos cap the loop back down.

THE VIEWS

Profile‑Worthy Vistas from Mount Lee

The summit above the Hollywood Sign provides the tour’s signature panoramas: the Sign framed against canyon slopes, with Downtown Los Angeles visible across the city — a built‑for‑photos finish to the climb.

THE ROUTE

A Quiet, Scenic Loop Around the Reservoir

The route follows tranquil residential streets through Hollywood Dell, loops the Hollywood Reservoir and pushes into Griffith Park, keeping the ride scenic and largely off busy thoroughfares.

THE MODE

Electric Bikes for an Effortless Ascent

The e‑bikes let riders of beginner ability tackle the hills with minimal strain, allowing you to reach the summit without the sweat of a long hike and to breeze down the canyon on the return.

What the day feels like

What the ride feels like

The ride begins with a skills tune‑up on calm residential streets, then moves into winding canyon roads where electric assist transforms the climb into a steady, enjoyable ascent. As the group loops the reservoir and pushes into Griffith Park, downtown vistas open and, at Mount Lee, riders pause for photos and a snack before a fast, wind‑in‑your‑hair descent back toward the gate.
