Walking in Los Angeles

Los Angeles is famous for cars, but its trails to the Hollywood Sign and Griffith Observatory, its historic downtown and its beach towns all reward exploring on foot.

Distances. Neighbourhoods are far apart. Walk within each and use the metro, bus or a car between them.

Hiking. The hills have little shade. Take water, sun protection and proper shoes.
