Griffith Observatory · Los Angeles
Perched on the south slope of Mount Hollywood, Griffith Observatory has drawn locals and travelers since 1935 for its free public telescopes and one of the city’s widest views — downtown, the Pacific, and the Hollywood Sign in a single sweep. People come for golden hour, when the dome glows and the city starts to flicker on. Quiet on weekday mornings, busy at sunset; the walk up is part of the draw.
The expedition is forming.
We’re charting the first cities now. The first explorers shape the map — and keep early access free, for good.
