Hey there and thanks for the question. It real is a great place and has lots of entertainment culture history. There is absolutely no cost. Entrance is free but watch those stops signs. They have cameras and YOU WILL get a ticket in the mail if you run them ☺️. Their is no tour guides but there's a visitors center with staff you you can learn all about the park and it's wildlife. They should be able to answer any questions for you. As far as the beetles pics. I looked them up and as far as I can tell they were taken towards the east side of the park behind the visitor's center. That area now a days is pretty over grown and infested with spiders especially in the summer so tread lightly and cautiously if you do attempt it. Too bad I'm not going today or I'd be more than happy to show you what's what. I've been going to Franklin Canyon before my mother even gave birth to me if you can believe that! You should also give tree people a look. I'm out of characters to type but enjoy!!
It is a park with hiking trails. Come and go as you please. They do have a little information/gift shop up the little hill just passed the first parking lot coming from Mulholland and Coldwater. In the summer they have some events that you might want to look into but I've never been on one so I don't know the details. Never heard of the photo shoot location but they do have an emblem to mark the dead center of LA just east of that same parking lot. It's a little hard to find in the trees for the first time, though.
It is free .no tours . I dont know
There's a monthly movie hike that can help you identify the location of the Rolling Stones album pics.
