9 Places to Get Outside in Los Angeles

With its beautiful terrain, perpetual sunshine, and temperate climate, Los Angeles is the perfect place to picnic, hike, garden, and meditate all year round.

You can explore the ruins of the old Los Angeles Zoo, nestled in among the hills of the famed Griffith Park, or take a trip to the location that served as Batman’s secret hideout in the 1960s television series. You could take a more spiritual path by walking the labyrinth in the midst of a lush estate nestled in the heart of Los Angeles. And don’t miss the secluded private garden in Beachwood Canyon, created by one woman and inspired by the Wizard of Oz, glittering with mosaics. So, bring your sunscreen, hiking boots, and your canteen of water, and check out the wonders of L.A.’s great outdoors.
