An enjoyable free family outing is hiking to the Hollywood sign. The perfect time to go is right after it has rained because the visibility is much better (although you can hike it any time). Drive to the Griffith Park Observatory and park for free on the curbside of the mountain near the Observatory. Get there early to avoid parking frustrations. The hike starts just opposite the Observatory. While there are many different hikes to the Hollywood sign, the one that starts at the Observatory is a well-maintained dirt trail and boasts beautiful views of Los Angeles. On a clear day, you can see all the way to the ocean. Hike to the top of Dante's Peak, where you will see a sign that says "Dante's Peak" with many picnic tables and benches to eat a picnic lunch. It is about 3 miles roundtrip, and is a moderately easy hike for the average person.
