Griffith Observatory
Among the unique things in California that you must try as a tourist is visiting Griffith Observatory. Why do I say “unique?” Because in a place called the City of Stars, it would be such a pity to not go to an observatory where you will be able to see the entire city from above, and if you are lucky and there are no clouds that night, you will witness a spectacular view of the sky.
You can visit it from Tuesday to Sunday between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m.
Redwood tree forests
One of my favorite things in California is nature itself, mostly because I am a big city girl who is a bit tired of crowds and noise and from time to time I enjoy going out in the wilderness.
There are some of the world’s tallest trees in California, some of which reach heights of more than 350 feet! These redwood woods are a popular tourist destination because of their famed beauty and grandeur. And believe me when I say everybody takes pictures here!
It feels as though you’ve been transported to a fanciful fairyland as you stroll amid the imposing redwoods as sunshine streams through the tree crown above you.
These redwoods are not only physically spectacular, but they also have a significant ecological impact on the area. The Northern Spotted Owl and the Marbled Murrelet are just two examples of the stunning variety of plant and animal life found in the woodlands.
So, whether you love nature as much as I do, whether you’re visiting the area, or whether you want to spend some time away from the bustle of the city, The Redwood Forest is a must!
