Griffith Park
If you’re into nature and want a break from the urban congestion, Griffith Park is one of the country’s biggest urban wilderness municipal parks. It’s only 20 minutes northwest of downtown and features deep canyons, pony rides, and several hiking trails. The four-mile loop hike to the Mt. Hollywood Summit, offers super views of the Hollywood sign, the Hollywood Hills, Downtown LA, and the park. Visit the Griffith Observatory too which offers public telescopes and stargazing parties too.
