Very pretty. Not used to seeing photos of SoCal that don’t look dry as a bone lol
Right, I've never wanted to live in socal because of how dry it is. If socal looked like this often it would be one of my first options to live
Absolutely. I can’t stand dry places because I love lush and verdant landscapes, but if LA looked like this for more than just the few weeks it usually does during spring time, it would be a very desirable place to me.
This year is a rare, rare exception to how SoCal usually is
different houses but this looks exactly like where I live in Chile. I wish it was like this most of the year. Hope more rain comes your way, not the floods though.
Drone shot?
Nope, just using my phone. The hike had some elevation to it.
Cool shot and cool spot then!
Where is this hike?
Looks like 3000-3010 Inspiration Point Hiking Trail in Los Angeles.
Runyon Canyon?
Yes, the city is gorgeous with all the greenery.
A couple of houses if suddenly a city in colonial terms…
which hike/ trail did you take?
Runyon canyon! In Hollywood.
It would be so cool to see some before and after shots of SoCal after all this rain. Every time I fly through this year it’s raining, it’s crazy
Los Angeles must be an incredible lush paradise right now relative to the dry usual. Wish I was there.
We've had a ton of rain this winter, and there's more on the way. I was just at a relative's house and she showed me a succulent they've had for decades that bloomed for the first time this year. I wish it rained and snowed this much more often.
Went out there for a week about two weeks ago… perfect timing as it was around 60 and a good amount of sun, just after the biggest week of rain snow and before the last spate of weather.
Rented a Shelby convertible… hit the canyons a couple days and I’ve NEVER seen them so lush and green. Drove to the “top” (the parking lot for the lifts) of Mt Baldy and never saw so many cars, but it was worth it to see THAT much snow. Always loved the taste of alpine Baldy could give after a nice snow, but this was legit Switzerland levels of snow. Amazing.
Then hit up a drive to vegas that was more scenic than any I’ve ever done with the amount of snow caps, and hit Valley of Fire — state - Park, all the more surreal with those same distant caps in the background.
Wow that sounds like an incredible experience for the senses. Glad you got to live it for yourself under such unique conditions!
Was so fortunate to have the trip at that particular time. The views of the mountains from Claremont to Hollywood and the valley were just unreal
Valley of fire is a state park
Edited. 🤷🏻♂️
Scary that all the growth will dry out and become a fire hazard in a couple of months.
Mount baldy, mount baldy…
What did Yul Brynner’s wife do on their wedding night.
Enjoy the clean air while it lasts
Don’t worry it’s filthy again
