Now that tourist season is ending, it is the perfect time to visit your currently quiet state park! This month, enjoy a day away from the modern world with your family at Franklin Canyon Park!

     The best part of Franklin Canyon Park is that there is something for everyone, regardless of age or interests! If you are looking for a relaxing day away from the city, Franklin Canyon has a terrific nature center where you can learn all about the area and its wildlife from knowledge volunteers. On the other hand, if you would prefer to work up a sweat, you will love the park’s miles of trails that bring you up close and personal with the park’s beautiful geography and wildlife.

     With California’s fantastic year-round weather, it is always a good time to head for the outdoors! For more information on Franklin Canyon Park, visit www.lamountains.com.

     Are you searching for a fun activity to finish off summer with the family? Well, look no further! This weekend, why not visit Griffith Park and discover everything it has to offer!

     While many know that Griffith Park houses the Griffith Observatory and the Los Angeles Zoo, not everyone knows that it offers so much more! If you enjoy breaking a sweat in your free time, you will love the miles of hiking, including the hike to the world-famous Hollywood Sign! On the other hand, if you prefer to just relax on your days off, you will find the park’s museums, statuary, and open picnic areas a welcome, peaceful break from the stresses of everyday life!
