Written By: Nicole Fera, Michelle A Slieff, Charlotte Farrell Father’s Day in LA
Last year it may have been a car wash and watching the ball game on TV. But this year is different, and he deserves it. As you grew up, Pops was there for you. He was that guy who helped you with your first shave or taught you how to ride a bike. Now as you’ve gotten older, the tables have turned, and it’s time to step it up to ensure a memorable day for dear old dad.

Not only is the Griffith Observatory an amazing place to visit, but you can hike up to the top and enjoy the many amazing views along the way. The observatory itself is great to check out all their astronomy information and attractions. Park at the bottom of one of the trailheads and hike your way up to a view of the famous Hollywood sign across the way. The hike falls into a moderate difficulty level, one that can be completed pretty easily by most. Just make sure to wear sneakers and something comfortable to walk up in and you’ll be good to go!
