Tips from locals
6.5 miles or 50 mins. Take a unique mountain drive to the top of Mount Wilson for hiking and spectacular views of the whole of LA at 6,000 Feet.
Besides the amazing views of the entire city, you can check out the telescope that Edwin Hubble used to prove the Big Bang Theory. The apple pie at the Cosmic Cafe is pretty good too!
A beautiful drive on the Angeles Crest Highway or an Intense hike up Mount Wilson will bring you to the observatory where Hubble made many of his famous discoveries. Tours are offered on the weekends.
