Explore Griffith Observatory and the Hollywood Hills
November is an ideal time to explore the Griffith Observatory and hike through the iconic Hollywood Hills. The weather is pleasant, and the skies are often clear, offering breathtaking views of the city. Take a leisurely hike to the Griffith Observatory, where you can marvel at the stars, planets, and the iconic Hollywood sign. The surrounding Griffith Park is also brimming with golf courses, the LA Zoo and horseback riding. It’s a perfect way to unwind and soak in the beauty of Los Angeles.
