Overview

This is an experience of Los Angeles unlike any other. At Earth City Wonder we believe in the wonder of nature – even in the megalopolis of Los Angeles – and want to share it with the world. And that's why we let nature do the talking. Every tour is different touching on various aspects of the history of LA from the Kizh rebel hero Toypurina, the young woman who led a rebellion against Spanish colonial rule in 1785 to Peg Entwistle who leapt to her death from the "H" of the Hollywoodland sign in 1932. And all this in the context of the sage scrub, riparian, chaparral, and oak woodland communities that set Southern California apart. Depending on the time of year different plants are in bloom and different historical anniversaries are popping up on the calendar and influencing the tours along with the particular interests of the guests. This tour is truly one of a kind.

  • Salt River Canyon 3-day rafting trip from Phoenix area
  • Cover 52 miles (83 kilometers) of river, including up to class IV rapids
  • Chances to see animals like javelina in the wild
  • Great opportunity to get off the beaten path with the help of a guide

Hollywood Sign



We’ll pass the front of the sign at the closest point for pictures from the front. We’ll also hike to the summit above the sign to get as close as we can to the sign and take in glorious 360-degrees voices of the LA Basin, the San Fernando Valley, the San Gabriels, the Santa Monicas, the Pacific Ocean, DTLA and much more.

The Brush Canyon Trail



This Hollywood Sign hike starts in the Brush Canyon parking lot and goes up Brush Canyon Trail and Mulholland Trail to the Tyrolean Tank for the most popular viewpoint of the sign and then turns back to summit Mt. Lee, behind the Hollywood Sign. This tour is the wildest of the bunch and offers encounters with four major ecological communities in Southern California: Coastal Sage Scrub, Riparian, Chaparral, and Oak Woodland. In this setting we touch on the Gabrieleño/Tongva first Californians, the Spanish Colony, the Mexican Era, the history of U.S. Statehood and the Hollywood film industry, and we’ll find the connections between these cultural periods and the ecology that shaped them.
