Women's Hike to Mt Lee via Wisdom Tree

Difficulty Rating: MODERATE

For this adventure, we're heading up to Mt Lee by way of the Wisdom Tree, ending up right behind the iconic Hollywood Sign. This is a challenging, rewarding climb that starts with a steep set of switchbacks up to the Wisdom Tree, a lone survivor of the 2007 fires where hikers leave their dreams and wishes in journals tucked at its trunk. From there the trail follows a rugged ridgeline over Cahuenga Peak, the highest point in Griffith Park, before reaching Mt Lee and those unforgettable views looking down over Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley, and the back of the Hollywood Sign itself. It's a big one for Wild Sisters ready to push themselves, anyone chasing a real sense of accomplishment, and the kind of summit moment that reminds you exactly why we rise together.
