Griffith Park is a hidden jewel nestled in the heart of Los Angeles. Often overlooked and underappreciated, it's also not very crowded. Attractions within the park include the Gene Autry Western Heritage Museum, the Los Angeles Zoo, and Train Town. There are also innumerable hiking, biking, and horse riding trails, (including horse rentals). If you want to get away from the city for a while, Griffith Park is the place to go.
