The beautiful weather we are having prompted me to explore some fun outdoor activities to participate in LA. Running and walking throughout the city is a great way to become familiar with one’s neighborhood, and can also be a very peaceful experience.

A new jogging path has been developed in one of LA’s up and coming neighborhoods, Silver Lake, California. The dirt trail runs along the reservoir on Silver Lake Blvd, and is popular among residents. The path officially opens on Friday.

Runyan Canyon remains one of the most popular hiking trails in the LA area. The hike includes three observations points which I am very fond of, and is located right in the heart of Hollywood.

Franklin Canyon is a popular spot for weddings and photoshoots, which is not a surprise considering its stunning views and breathtaking scenes. This is definitely one of the most gorgeous areas to hike in LA.

A New York Times piece draws comparisons between some of this century’s lowest economic points, and the stunningly good design work that came out of them. Michael Cannell postulates that depressions and recessions result in creative problem-solving and striking new ideas in the home and interior design world, as evidenced by some of the most iconic works by Wright, Eames, and more.
