A nice way to combine a beach walk and a mountain hike. The hike's elevation will offer a great view of the PCH highway. 

This happened last winter— due to extreme climate changes there was a rare snowfall in the hills of Los Angeles. I can count on one hand how many times I have seen snow, nonetheless driven in it. I was playing "I Love You" by Takehiko Honda while driving through Hollywood Hills and Griffith Park. I will never forget it.

Only about 45 minutes from Los Angeles, this is a great quick campground for a one night escape from the city.

This restaurant has been a Hollywood landmark for over 60 years. The interior looks like time has stood still. Go to the reastaurant area to have a nice piece of prime rib, and after dinner move to the lounge area where Elaine and Marty sing their oldies but goodies. Some believe that their version of "Staying alive" is better then the original.

Small book store with really hard to find photography and art books. Love their collection of stuff as well as presentation.
