Fun in, and out,  of the Sun. . .

Fans of the WNBA can catch a game at the Great Western Forum, which is also where boxing matches are held. 

For baseball fans, the excitement can be caught at Dodger Stadium, one of the few National League fields created solely for baseball. Soccer fans can watch LA’s Major League Soccer (MLS) team , the Los Angeles Galaxy, play at the Rose Bowl.

While it may seem impossible at first to find any kind of natural beauty in the concrete jungle of Los Angeles, be assured that it does exist. Forests, beaches, canyons, mountains, and more are all located in or near Los Angeles, and welcome everyone from the rugged backpacker to the family on a nature walk. One of the best things about Los Angeles is its climate, because it keeps the hiking trails accessible year round.

What would Los Angeles be without the beach? In the summer, sunworshippers from all over flock to the beach to swim, to sunbathe, to check each other out. You can surf, cruise down the bike path, splash in the waves, play some volleyball, have a picnic, or just hang out. Even when summer’s over and the seasonal throng has moved out, the weather is usually still nice enough to kick back at the beach.
