Sightseeing

From doorstep back to doorstep, this adventure takes only about an hour. From the Observatory trail head, enjoy a hike up a wide, decomposed granite trail. The Observatory is at the top, and there are fabulous viewpoints of the LA basin to the sea. You might choose to stay longer for the daily Planetarium shows, Space Observatory and Astronomy museum. Or continue your hike further to Observatory Peake. Cafe and restrooms at the Observatory.

The best little cafe for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Nestled at the top of Echo Park Canyon in a residential area. Peaceful, in a garden setting, with a lot of local flavor. Enjoy the menu with a Mimosa! If you like a walk before breakfast, you can walk to it from your rental.
