The nature here was incredible, and the trail was very quiet, so walking through was heavily just listening to nature and looking at the beauty.

Be prepared to walk up hillsss, also do the trolly ride! The city has a lot to offer, make sure you stop at local spots for fun new treats to try.

I am a sucker for a cool bridge. We snuck up to a spot overlooking the beauty and sat to take it all in. Definitely try to go on a sunny day if you can.

Okay this is a fun place to go to when you're in San Francisco. It's known for being the "crookedest street" in the world, can't race down that in a car!

This is a cool hike to take to see the sign. Make sure you get your picture with the classic Hollywood sign.

It was so cool to see that this pier was the end of route 66. There was so much going on between street artists, good spots, and carnival rides. You have to check out the pier if you're nearby.

Yummy spot for an iced chai. It's kind of a hidden gem tucked away, but great for a pastry and drink when walking through the town.
Toby's Feed Barn

Yummy breakfast spot. It's pretty small but don't let that fool you. The breakfast is delicious.
Tea Room Cafe

Can't beat the views, top tier food as well. They didn't name it the sunset restaurant for nothing, the best time to go was for dinner and watch the sun go down on the beach.

One of the cutest 50s theme diners I have ever been to. The staff is so sweet, the vibes are top tier, and the food was delicious. Don't forget to grab a milkshake before you leave.

Great spot to do some serious shopping while in Los Angeles. They have all the traditional stores a typical mall would have, plus some! Lots of good spots to stop at for a bite to eat.
The Grove

I'm a sucker for a weird roadside attraction. Definitely pop in and check this place out if you're driving along route 66.

This spot was a cute 40s style diner. The waitresses were so sweet and welcoming. Love the vibes in here and the food was yummy. Make sure you get a shake before you head out.
