hike
If you're looking for a great workout with beautiful
vistas that is a less crowded and overdone hike,
Fryman Canyon in Studio City is an amazing option.
The end of the 3 mile trail drops you in the middle of
a residential neighborhood, so you get a chance to check out the gorgeous
neighborhood.
In fact, George Clooney is known to live in the area,
and you'll walk past the house that was used as the facade in Keeping up with the
Kardashian's.
Be sure to put on your sneakers, bring some water,
and prepare for some good physical exercise. But the
views of the San Fernando Valley and mountains are absolutely worth it - you'll
hardly believe you're still
right in Los Angeles!
Once you've finished your hike, I'd recommend
driving up Laurel Canyon back toward the city and turning right onto Mulholland
Drive. This is a very famous, windy road that stretches about 20 miles
through the Santa Monica mountains. It has wonderful
views and many points where you can pull your car
over to stop, stretch your legs, and take pictures.
Once you drive down Mulholland for some time, you
can choose to take Coldwater Canyon or Beverly Glen back down toward the city they will let you drive right down into Beverly Hills or Westwood
Village, which are fun neighborhoods to wander
around in!
north of the Japanese American National Museum (JANM). Founded in 1979, MOCA
at the Geffen as
locals call it, is the biggest Contemporary Arts
Museum of the three. It houses larger pieces of art as
well as a collection of cultural and historical importance of Los Angeles.
Art Talks and Lectures are held on Thursday nights at 18:30 and Sunday afternoons
at 15:00. I am usually at the special events when it's free.
What's cool about MOCA are the special events.
They have live DJs during the summer in front of the courtyard and a free tour of the
museum. Exhibitions
touch on historical art of Los Angeles ranging from our troubled past to
contemporary issues.
My favorite time at the Geffen MOCA is for the LEVI Workshops in art of movie
making. I had a chance to
shoot 8mm and super 8mm camera, I didn't even know they still exist! Another
workshop showed
participants in how to make 3D stop motion movies. I
hope they have this workshop every summer!
As part of the LA museums, MOCA participates in an
art walk and free exhibitions along with other
museums. Imagine going on the bus that connects to every museum.
Being part of the LA skyline since 1934, the Griffith Observatory is a place you can't
afford not to visit if
you really want to feel and see what this city is all
about. I love to go there day or night; it's beautiful at
any time of the day. I love to see the all the
interesting and cool exhibitions and of course learn more about astronomy and
science.
But it's also a beautiful place just to relax and enjoy
the gorgeous views of the city. You can see
Downtown, the Pacific Ocean, and of course the
Hollywood sign. Also, it's quite a romantic place...so if
you are thinking of going on a date I would most
definitely recommend taking your loved one to the Griffith Observatory.
beware!
