The SECRET, More Fun Way to the Hollywood Sign : The Wisdom Tree Trail!
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 09. 2024
- I complete a full hike to the back of the Hollywood Sign and also visited the Wisdom Tree, the lone survivor of a 2007 fire. The tree is a Los Angeles treasure, and many make the trip remark at its beauty. This trail is rugged, tough, and comes with steep ascents. I also climbed Burbank and Cahuenga Peaks, the highest natural points in Griffith Park, and with it came great views of Los Angeles.

That was amazing my friend! Absolutely amazing and scenic, you are the hardest working 💪 CZcamsr officially now. 👏 👏
That was I think the hardest video I've seen you make! That was also the most scenic I've seen LA! Those views were breathtaking!

Very true. Thanks for the timestamps @ POVHFR 👍😀
@@CelestialAscent919 Yes! Sure thing!😀
This timestamp comment should pinned. 😎
Pinned! Great moments from this hike!
Isn’t the girl at 27:27 the same girl at :45 on Wonder View Dr.?
One thing no one can ever accuse AK of is being a CZcams grifter. This guy works for the money, and provides great content.
I need to google grifter. I will say he seems very genuine and fun!
@@jackdaniels2905 In the CZcams sense, grifter means CZcamsrs who produce mediocre content that requires little effort, while they constantly beg for donations.
Probably having fun doing it as well. Month long trip to Los Angeles.
Sorry, but when he said, while panting, 'That Wisdom Tree Better Be Worth It' I couldn't help but start cracking up.. 😂
And that tree ended being more like “ a shrubbery”. I expected something a lot more majestic for the effort! 😂
I was so scared for you watching you hike up that trail! I kept thinking how easy it would be for you to lose your footing and tumble down that steep hillside. I was literally breathless and fearful. You are a brave man! Thank you for this adventure. It was extremely interesting and exciting.
Happy to make it then. Good shoes help a lot with this trail! It's easy to slip since the ground is full of loose dirt and rocks.
Scared me too! That trail was “oh hell no” on the way up, and trying to go down that same trail would be “no way Jose” !!
Thanks, Action Kid - you're a real cowboy of the olde west!
Much appreciated
Thank you! I love your videos. I am a blind person, and the level of detail you provide is fantastic whether it is hiking, walking a neighborhood or taking a transit line. Plus, your positive attitude is a real pleasure.
That was absolutely AMAZING AND BREATHTAKING! Much respect 👏
Thanks! I was completely mesmerized with the views throughout this entire hike.
@@ActionKid Yes, those were some amazing views!
Hi MsCelestial Ascent 🌹
I agree 💯 with you. I'm so proud of AK and his accomplishments. This was even more epic than his first hike up there. He is such a hard worker. And he's a wonderful young man. ❤❤❤
@ Mary Reed ❤️😇
Omg it was a nail biter. So close to the edge up so hi and dirt and rocks that could have gave way. Awesome hike. 🚶♂️
I was a nervous wreck n my seat for him.
God bless. Stay safe.
Wow AK….I admire your bravery & determination. That was soooo freaking scary but the views were incredible. Idk how you did it, my feet & legs wouldn’t have moved me bc I would’ve been frozen in fear. I love seeing how adventurous you are.
I agree with you 💯 Michelle. I was thinking of you when AK was passing by some of those close edges. I would have been worrying about rattlers, mountain lions, etc. Along with tripping and falling. But our AK did it!!! Another epic journey.
@@maryreed2619 Wow that was something else wasn’t it? I’m so impressed w/how well he navigated that hike all while filming too!
Michelle French McGraw i agree totaly😃i could feel how his legs must have felt! Spaghetti-legs😂😂😂
Gotta be in good shape to be doing hikes like that. Good job Ak. And beautiful scenery. After your hike here, a post workout shake with electrolytes, certain amino acids and simple sugars will prevent your muscles from getting really soar and breaking down. Elite athletes take custom post shakes after intense workouts because it allows them to recover more quickly so that they can train hard again the next day.
Keep it up!
Thanks! I had a really good meal after this hike.
AK puts in work rain or shine dedicated a true warrior 🏆☝. Much respect for your hard work 💪. Love the posing at the end of the stream with the Hollywood sign
Thanks Genaro!
Bravo action kit bravo twice climbing the Hollywood mountain.
Sorry Action Kid
Thanks!
You certainly live up to your name!
amazing video as always Bro Wonderful and Splendid The Great City Los Angeles !!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
I liked how AK pretended the Hollywood Sign was on his hands
Wow this is courageous of you AK.. I noticed you took a photo of the rangers phone jic
Wow ! Excellent job. I was sweating just watching it.
Wow, my palms were sweating as you were living your life on the edge! 😱 Thank you for showing the trail to the Wisdom Tree, and the views are breath taking! How awesome is it for you to be able to hit your bucket list item twice. 🤩
oh gosh AK, be careful out there! man that is steep and sketchy,
1:11:00
amazing view...... no wind, no rain, warm
Wow what gawjess views AK‼️🥰🥰🥰 amazing hike
Wow! That was some hike. You are amazing.
Great job AK! Thank you for taking us somewhere I won’t be able to go!
Millions have viewed the sign from afar, but you, AK, have been there. Twice! Props for sharing the hikes.
nice job!!!
Someone needs to bring some acetone next time to clean all the blue paint that someone left behind.
AK you must have legs like a bodybuilder with your pace around LA 😎
He has legs of a cyclist.
Great Panorama views bihind the Hollywood sign!, thank a lot for taking us there, bless you enjoy for all of things you do, Appreciated you AK!👍🏁✴️🥰
Stunning views my friend. Thank you!
The views couldn't be beat from up there.
Nice walk ActionKid. I always enjoyed walking virtually with you. Thanks for sharing. Take care always and God bless!
Awesome! All of it, the hike, the day, the beautiful camera work, just amazing.
I don’t think visitors that take casual hikes really understand how steep some of the grades can be! Like you stated make sure your able to hike certain terrains before heading out!
I can see how it can be out of many peoples' abilities! It's not an easy ascent up!
Ken, I have never seen LA sky as clear as on this video, really amazing. Great timing up there to get these shots.!! About '79 I worked on a pool in those hills. The top half of the house was gone and up the hill every house was burned down, a raging fire the year b4. No joke of fire over there. What a treat this vid is AK! you're doing a fine job.
I knew he was going to make it, but I had so much anxiety about those trails! "Discretion is the better part of valor", and I know I have poor equilibrium, and fall too easily, so this would not be my challenge.
But yes, respect for doing it, making it through, and taking those of us who couldn't do it, with you. Beautiful views; LA is truly beautiful. These are definitely keepers.
I hope when I’m out in LA I can overcome my fear of rattlesnakes so I can do this hike. But if not, at least I got to see it through your video. Thank you! I had no idea I’d find the Hollywood sign as interesting as I do!
You can see the Wisdom Tree from Cahuenga Peak! That’s awesome 🥰🥰🥰
I must add, the views throughout and near the end, and your peaceful feeling, were just amazing.
This is quite the change from your NYC videos!
Oh gosh! It’s beautiful but your poor legs must have been hurting after this😃thank for this experience🙏TC! 🖐
I can't wait😭
Wow,that's some climb!!!
It was intense!
I don’t know what to say. I got out of breath watching you and listening 🥵 kept thinking don’t slip on that dirt and go falling down the hill. Thanks buddy but omgeeeee be careful.
This made me very nervous watching this video because of all the rock climbing. Also there were nothing from stopping you from falling down the cliff. I’m very glad you made it safely and you did a great job as always.
😂Endurance Tree is right‼️‼️‼️😱😱 I give you much props AK🥰💯👍🏼
Small world meeting others from New York. Thank you for this amazing video. I am relieved you have good instincts for hiking in the hills. Take care and thank you always for your interesting and fun videos.❤️
Awesome!
Thanks for this video ! Looks amazing. Best wishes from London England
Snakes can't regulate their body temp internally, so they use external sources such as sunlight or hot rocks. Also they use shade which is where a lot of snakes will be hiding during the heat of the day.
Also I'd like to add that if you're in Australia, more snake deaths occur inside homes, rather than the outdoors. Aussie snakes while venonous, don't kill very often due to a number of factors I won't list in a short video comment.
Respect🤩👌👍💥💯
Thank You ! I couldn't do that because the height and drop off would make me freeze ! I hate heights !
Thank you for some great entertainment by far the best walking videos because of its commentary content, Los Angeles is beautiful, this sign to the Hollywood sign and your other video using the easier trail has some excellent scenic beauty, who would have thought of these things, most people who go to LA do other things but thank you for giving your viewers another perspective of this beautiful city of angels, take care be safe, both those hikes were breathtaking !!
Socal trails can definitely be a bit more daunting than they seem, but you took it like a champ! I know the feeling of being out of breath on those trails, only to be smoked by locals who basically run right up to the top and never lose their breath LOL! A nice, relatively clear day too
The most amazing views of LA and the San Fernando Valley. Thank you 🙏
Amazing. I didn't realize you went up there twice.
You are indeed the Hollywood Hiker- you scaled that mountain ascent in about minutes 💪 :o That was an adventure but those views are absolutely amazing and worth it.
And you met some other NYer's at the top of the mountain too which is cool.
A slide from the top down would be nice and cool. 😂👌🏻
That would be so awesome if that was a thing!
It's so far down, it would get hot, even if it was made of something cool!
@@ActionKid only you... only you! Thank you for the thrills and chills! (Watching from beautiful downtown Co-op City :-) )
I hiked that trail years ago with residents. We started at the sign, then went to the tree next. There’s actually a hidden treasure over the cliff by the the wisdom tree - a little Buddha that people give things to. I have pics and video. Very cute!
Yes, I must do this when I visit LA again. Thanks for blazing the trail, AK!
So dry ! I guess that is why there aren't any animals! I hope California get's rain ! You have guts! Your Really Exciting to watch! really Amazing !
You're creative keep going✨✨✨✨✨..

يب✨✨✨✨..
I highly recommend a pair of collapsible hiking poles. They’re especially useful on descent.
@Wooster OMG I thought the same thing as I sat on the edge of my seat in NYC, biting my nails, sometimes covering my eyes, and after the ascent wondering how @ActionKid was going to descend! That was better than ANY adventure movie for sure..
@@ChuckysBoo haha, imagine if his videos included action sound effects and suspenseful music.
So nice that you got to see the Wisdom Tree and the Hollywood sign again. I watched some of your other videos and was so excited that you got to see the Brady Bunch house! Little Taipei was awesome too. Love the haircut!
I just had to revisit this hike again!
@@ActionKid Fantastic!
You picked a perfect day for this hike 👍🏼🥰🌴🌊⛰
Very very well done Kid! I know you put up vast distances and leg work in NYC but this is a different kettle of 🐟! I would take a bandana/neckachief with plenty of water. Keep moistening the bandana with water and use it to keep your head/neck cool! Some salted peanuts or potato chips and my favourite is dried apricots! 👏
They make neckerchiefs with little water holding beads inside of them so you can wet the neckerchief down, tie it around your neck, and it keeps you cool! A lot of stores in Phoenix, Arizona sell them!
@@conniec7650 👍
My wife and I hiked this route yesterday. Very fun and technical! Also a good workout. We love your videos.
This walk is one of the most amazing I have seen Ken!! Phenomenal and there is so much to see and learn about!! Thank you so much. It is enormously appreciated. Whoa!! Just when I think the steepness is over - there is even more steepness to encounter!! This is a mindblowing walk Ken!! You rock!! :-) P.S. Spectacular views!! :-)
Very amazing up view lanskap
My nerves are officially shot!!😱
PS. I wonder what was going through the city kid’s mind as he panned his camera around the scenery while standing alone above the nine white letters? Thank you for taking us off the asphalt and beaten paths of urban California. (I also enjoy your city walks because even there, you often take the road less traveled.)
I was scared for you in a few places 😮 wow !! 🇨🇦
You breathing hard makes me nervous. Don't overwhelm yourself. But anyways I enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work!!!
Many peaks to climb (life!)😌
Very cool AK thanks. Glad you made iy
We'll turn AK into a grizzled mountain climber yet
An amazing walk, but that trail would be a no for me dawg :)
My word , that was a hike. I wasn't expecting it to be so dangerous! Amazing vlog!
This is what I would like to be doing. Good going ak
Well... You made it, all right!
Amazing Hike U the man AK a True Soulja Salute StaStrong
We did this hike in the summer of 2015. Amazing views!
Wow great scenery adventure AK your brave...
You made it.
Thank you so much for videoing this. i'm obessed with the Hollywood sign. Ive started following your channel. LA views were amazing.
getting ready to do this. great video and documenting the trek. you rule!
WOW! The views were absolutely stunning Ken! I bet you didn't think you'd go mountaineering in L.A. . The hike was a bit scary at times (at least for me with my fear of heights) . And I'd have loved to have got hold of the idiot with the blue spray paint.... just disrespectful...
I horse back up in these hills ! There is a horseback club that rents you horses! Los Ángeles is a lot of fun
I guess on a hot day it would be more enjoyable later in the day. Maybe to even catch the sunset in the way down
Working hard. This was not a smart hike to do alone .
Beautiful views
Awesomeness
Wow! Have a great enjoy! And walking.👍 be cool to Hollywood 😎👣👍
GREAT!!!
This is amazing and pure insanity 😂
Awesome job.
Absolutely breathtaking ! Thank you so much !
Loved this thanks so much
Hello AK. I missed the live. Will you go to Mulholland drive ? 🌺
I'll look into it!
@@ActionKid Oh great ! 😊🌺
Oh wow! Oh wow! Oh wow! I have been to the Hollywood sign about 😁 3 times or so. I heard about the Wisdom Tree & Cuhenga Pass. Looking at your video it looks pretty rough.
From your video it looks much easier to go from Hollywood sign to the Wisdom Tree/ Cahunga Peak.
For direction to those some what familiar to Griffth park.
Go to the back of Hollywood sign not the front of the Hollywood sign. This saves lots walking/ hiking & times.
Once you reached near the top of the Hollywood sign about 10 yards or so before the chain link fence ( near the end of the top of Hollywood sign) As you see in the AK video ( near the end of video) there is rock 🪨/ plaque. A small entry of trail to Cahuenga Pass/ Wisdom Tree.
Looking at your video it looks like not clear signage or maintained trails. It could be a big challenge. I will try it one of these days. I better start early so the Sun doesn't go down on me. Looking at your video this is not a trail I want to do it in the dark. One time I was hiking coming back from Admir Garden to Ferndell (where I parked my 🚗). The sun 🌞 was out. Even with my head lamp it was challenging., although I went this way a couple times. I will turn around if it gets to rough or looks like I might get lost coming back. I will try again,again & again until I find my way back to Hollywood sign. Thanks for the video. It was 😉 enjoyable.
Thank 😊 you AK
#1) stating the date and time @ beginning of your video
#2) thank you for showing the parking area of lake hollywood Dr & wonder view 😀.
#3) thank you for showing the black gate ( entrance to the griffth park)
#4) by watching your video, i went to the trail 2 times already. Your video was very realistic of what to expect on the tail,very doable.
I look for more of your utube video
P.s I am planning to do burbank trail, Wisdom 🌳, & cahuenga peak ( maybe back of the Hollywood sign) coming back down.
My gosh! This is an awesome but risky trail up here. What hav u got yourself into AK? . Just be careful man!
You wouldn’t see me up there that’s for sure 😉
