MOUNT LEE

'Mount Lee' is a peak in the Santa Monica Mountains, in Griffith Park in Los Angeles, California. The famous Hollywood Sign is located on its southern slope. The sign is visible north of the Mulholland Highway. A good view of it can be had by driving north up Gower Street from Hollywood Boulevard to see the sign directly ahead, and then north along Beachwood Drive. One can also take Franklin Ave. directly to Beachwood. This is the location of the Hollywoodland suburb for which the sign was created.
The area is a private location and is closed to the public. It is named after Los Angeles broadcasting pioneer Don Lee.
