Mount Lee, Mountain summit in Griffith Park, Los Angeles County, US.

Mount Lee reaches an elevation of 1,708 feet within the Santa Monica Mountains, featuring natural trails and communication equipment at its peak.

The peak received its name from Don Lee, a pioneer in radio and television who established the W6XAO transmitter during the late 1920s.

The mountain contains the Hollywood Sign on its southern slope, making it a central element of Los Angeles entertainment heritage.

Multiple hiking trails lead to Mount Lee through Griffith Park, with designated parking areas and trail maps available at the visitor center.

The mountain's flattened summit resulted from an unrealized plan by silent film pioneer Mack Sennett to construct a residence.
