You’ll pass the Greek Theatre and catch a glimpse of celebrity homes tucked into the hillside before arriving at our first official stop: Griffith Observatory.
While the museum inside is usually closed at this hour, we come here for the incredible views—panoramic sights of the city skyline, the Hollywood Sign, and even the Pacific Ocean on a clear day. It’s one of LA’s most iconic photo ops and a stunning start to the day.
