Yesterday was so beautiful and warm, I had to get out of my apartment and do something. So I went and did a little hiking around in Griffith Park, which is about a 5 minute drive from my place.
With 53 miles of trails, mountains, rattlesnakes, punks, graffiti, deer, and latino families picnicking, it seems both impossible and neccessary that Griffith Park is in the middle of the LA urban area.
It was pretty hazy (cue the words of every LA air quality apologist, "That's not smog, that's the marine layer."), but beautiful.
Posted by jjwiseman at January 20, 2003 09:19 PMI used to live about a five-minute walk from the Fern Dell entrance to Griffith Park. The fast way to our house was via grungy Hollywood Blvd, full of weirdos. But when the parents would visit, we'd tell them to go there via Los Feliz, a much nicer road, with houses set 50 or 60 feet back from the street, big lawns, long driveways, etc.
The marine layer daily puts these words into every LA weatherperson, from April through August or September: "Late night and early morning low clouds and fog along the coast, clearing to hazy sunshine by mid-afternoon."
