洛杉矶国家森林

Great hiking and camping. You can rent camping gear from us if you want to go camping!

In one hour by car you can access miles and miles of natural beauty away from the city. Higher elevation means cooler weather if hot down below. Hiking trails, waterfalls, scenic views, famous Mt Wilson Observatory, ski in winter, etc.

only 15-20 minute drive away is angeles national forest! great hikes, beautiful drive into the mountains, and excellent view of the city.

Head to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory on 2N. Right behind it is a small service road to the right that leads to some great hiking trails. If you're lucky, maybe you get a tour of JPL where they build and test Mars Rovers and future space travel.

By far my favorite getaway from the city. Try SwitzerFalls trail and go to the water hole at the bottom of the mountain. There's a ranger station right before the entrance where you can get a day pass and they can talk you through all the trails.
