Tips

🕊️ 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒓

July 11, 2022

Wonder View Trail, now also known as Aileen Getty Ridge Trail, is a narrow, rocky dirt trail running east from Mount Lee to Cahuenga Peak and ends at the Wonder View Road Trailhead. Starting with the Memorial for Playboy Founder Hugh Hefner, it has sweeping views all along, also passing Wisdom Tree and Tree of Life trail. Hefner saved the area twice: once with a fundraising party that helped to rebuild the collapsing Hollywood sign in 1978, and again in 2010 by contributing the final $900,000 of the $12 million needed by the Land Trust to buy and protect the land around Cahuenga Peak from real estate developers. Aileen Getty, Tiffany, Alice Cooper, Gene Autry and others also contributed to the trust.

Despite the fence, it is possible to cross the trail over Mt. Lee to Cahuenga Peak here. Great view of the city. Good shoes are mandatory

Unfortunately a fence disturbs the view. Still nice!
