My brother and I hiked up a mountainside above Burbank in a recreational area called Stough canyon on a cool sunny morning. I kept stopping to catch the view ( and my breath). Glorious slopes blanketed in dense bright green foliage (after days of rain, which fortunately I missed).
In the distant valley, like a faraway oz, rises the skyscrapers of downtown LA. A little nature center at the trail entrance has some displays including real snakes that kids might enjoy. La la land!
Lunch was at H2O poke and fish grill, a new place on the main drag in bustling down Burbank (note to self: travel story?)
