My Favorite Hikes

Amazing views at the very top! Moderate to Difficult hike due to narrowed pathways and about one mile hike all uphill- trust me it is definitely worth the effort. There is a super large American Flag at the top, with mountain ranges as your backdrop, and of course a 360 degree beautiful view of the valley and neighboring cities.

One of the most beautiful and romantic spots to visit in the evening! The city lights are just dazzling. During a clear sunny day, you can explore several hiking trails by foot or by horseback to get you pretty close to the Hollywood sign.

Best sushi outside of Japan. Pay a little more, but it is totally worth the quality of fish served and it is consistently amazing every time. Order the ginger jalapeño spicy yellowtail roll - you will want a second order :) Premium toro and oysters are so good...enjoy!

Another wonderful sushi spot! If you love scallop and uni, must try the Sakura under their Signature Dish- they are out of this world. They are known for their grilled meats. Yum.
