Parks & Nature
I love this hiking trail! It's easy, park at their public free lots and bring a bottle of water (there are bathrooms at parking lots) Enjoy the scenic hike uphill to the endless views of the Pacific. Bring a snack, chill at the top, take photos, enjoy!

Come to Griffith park and hike in the trails shaded by trees, or bring a picnic and hang on the grass. Great for families, kids, friends, or a romantic moment. At the top of the hike is the Observatory (you can also drive up there). Free to enter and learn all about the other planets and stars that surround us! I love it here. You can also come at night. Views of Downtown to Santa Monica are stunning.
