Mount Washington sits just across Figueroa, and I hike up and over it every day! It offers wonderful views of Downtown, the Griffith Park Observatory and Hollywood Sign, the San Gabriel mountains to Mount Baldy, and you can even see all the way to Long Beach and the Pacific Ocean. Just plug “kite hill” into your favorite map app!
