Everyone should go here:
Finally, the restored Griffith Observatory is open for visitors! It's beautiful up above the city.
I had a dream last month that I parachuted to the moon. When I landed, the moon kind of resembled Denver.
Skip the shuttle and take the walk. Bring a picnic and some binoculars. You can see the ocean, the city, the hollywood sign, and a snow-capped Mt. Baldy! The only bummer was that the gift shop didn't have any 'You Are Here' galaxy t-shirts... dang.
