Sightseeing
My favorite spot in LA. Perfect for sunset to see all of LA, the ocean on a clear day, and the Hollywood sign. If you want a nice hike, park down at the bottom of the hill at Trails Cafe, hike up to the Observatory and back down. About an hour round-trip. If you're going for sunset, go early! Or else spend an hour trying to find parking...
