Look, i'm sorry you didn't get a photo with the Hollywood Sign but this is a cooler walk (and if you bring a good camera you can get a solid photo of DTLA and the mountains behind you) and locals won't hate you for making them go there. Go down the steps (carefully! work your glutes, save your knees!) so everyone thinks you went up them and then actually double back up the road it's way nicer. Grab some fruit at the bottom maybe there's usually a nice lady there.
