Stunning views, smog-permitting, of LA from this iconic observatory that has featured in many a film. You're really out in the woods on the drive to Mt Wilson, which is refreshing after hectic L.A. The mountain is also a hotspot for paragliders.
19 miles (approx 45 min. driving time) from the Angeles Crest Highway exit from the I-210 freeway in La Canada-Flintridge. Turn north toward the mountains and follow Angeles Crest Highway (California Route 2) for about 14 miles.
