What to do in Los Angeles during a pandemic
Take a Hike
Approximately 5 miles from our front door, A Bronson Canyon hike is a great activity to share with kids, or kids at heart. At its base is a playground and picnic area and on the hike you will find lots of recognizable movie locations and even Batman’s Cave from the 1960’s Batman TV series! If you're up for a more challenging hike, you can continue on the Hollyridge trail and get pretty close to the Hollywood sign.
