Urban Wildlands of Los Angeles

The National Science Teachers Association conference brought me to Los Angeles and after two days, I needed to find some green space. Linking up MacArthur Park, Vista Hermosa Natural Park, and Whole Foods (to prep for a trip to Santa Rosa Island) defined a route for me to visit the urban wildlands of the city.

Cool finds! I’ve only been in LA twice, but have managed to find some refreshing hikes up in the hills each time – first in Runyon Canyon, then up in Griffith Park.

Sweet image Peter- I’ve been to Griffith Park but it has been a while. When are we going to go for a hike together? 🙂

  Don’t know, man. My mom moved to Prescott AZ to officially retire, but you’d better believe that I’m not done with CA yet. Still never been north of Marin County…
