A few weeks ago I made it over to the Griffith Observatory for a few hours of hiking and exploring. It's a beautiful building that's free to the public--entry, parking, the whole bit. Got to love a deal, right?
Scenes from Rebel Without A Cause were shot here. There's even a bust of James Dean with a plaque that looks absolutely nothing like him. It looks just like Lionel Richie. No, I'm kidding.
I'd like to go back in the early evening and catch the sunset. I bet it would be amazing. Plus then I could actually use the giant telescope to see something. I won't have any idea what I'm looking at, but that impressive telescope is bound to show me something good.
Cactus flower I came across on my hike.
There are all different trails around the Observatory, depending on the length and difficulty, thought I had a little trouble locating the different trail heads once I was there. Still, pack a lunch, grab some water, and make a day of it!
