With SAVE THE PEAK replacing the Hollywood Sign temporarily over the next few days, it's a good time to bring up a list of where to best view it from. We're big fans of staring at it from Hollyridge Drive, but Kayte Deioma at About.com has put together 8 spots that she says are the best. She shares the basics like Hollywood & Highland and more unique spots like Deronda Drive up in the Hills. Check out the complete list and share in the comments section your favorite spot.
