Glendale, California: LA Suburb near Griffith Park

The Verdugo Mountains form an imposing backdrop to Glendale, a northern suburb of Los Angeles. You can explore the chaparral peaks on 2 miles of hiking trails at Wildwood Canyon Park, just 15 minutes north of town. You’ll also find plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors at nearby Griffith Park. The sprawling parkland, which forms the westernmost border of Glendale, is home to both the Los Angeles Zoo and Griffith Observatory, which overlooks the Hollywood sign.

The Glendale Galleria covers much of downtown with a mélange of retail shops, restaurants, and a movie theater. Both Bob’s Big Boy and Baskin Robbins got their start in Glendale in the first half of the 20th century; you can still get food from either joint, or sit down at one of the many restaurants surrounding the galleria. If you’re in the mood for a show, pop into the Glendale Centre Theatre to see live plays and musicals.
