Sun, May 4, 2025, 9:00 AM PDTSunday Morning Scenic Hike at Fryman Canyon (Studio City)
Fryman Canyon Park, Los Angeles, CA
Join me for a relaxing beginner-friendly hike at Fryman Canyon!

This smaller, urban forested area features shaded hiking paths & dramatic city views.

This is a great trail if you're new to hiking or just looking for an easy-going Sunday morning outdoors.

The loop is about 3 miles with gentle inclines, and we’ll take our time to enjoy the beautiful scenic views of the Valley and surrounding hills.

What to bring:

Comfortable walking shoes

Water

Sunscreen and a hat

Light snacks (optional)

We’ll meet at 9:00 AM in the parking lot and aim to start hiking by 9:15 AM.

Plan to spend about 1.5 hours on the trail, with plenty of time to chat and take in the sights.

This is a no-pressure, easy-paced hike, perfect for beginners or anyone wanting to get outside and connect with nature (and some new friends!).

Sun, May 4, 2025, 11:30 AM PDTFree | Morning Walk & Stroll at Greystone Mansion and Park Pt 2 (Beverly Hills)
Greystone Mansion, Beverly Hills, CA
We'll run this back, one more time!

For those who missed the last event, I usually don’t revisit the same venue within the same month or even the same year.

However, since I’ll be in the area this Sunday and Greystone Mansion is offering paid self-guided interior tours, I thought it’d be a fun opportunity to explore inside (optional).

Otherwise, the exterior of the mansion and surrounding gardens are absolutely free to visit. Parking is also free.

Please note: Admission for the mansion interior tour is $10 per person (non-Beverly Hills residents).

Greystone Mansion will be hosting self-guided tours of the first floor and the recently restored theatre on Sunday, May 4, 2025.

Timed entry tickets are available for 11 AM, 12 PM, 1 PM, and 2 PM.

According to the City of Beverly Hills, advance registration is recommended.

Tickets are open to both residents and non-residents.

The mansion interior will be open from 11 AM to 3 PM, with the last entry at 2:30 PM.

Join me for a refreshing morning walk around the historic Greystone Mansion and Park in Beverly Hills!

Let’s kick off the weekend with a peaceful stroll through one of LA's most stunning landmarks.

On Sunday, May 4th at 11:30 AM, we’ll gather to explore the beautiful gardens, lush greenery, and captivating architecture that make this spot so special.

Whether you’re a local or new to the area, this walk is a perfect opportunity to enjoy nature, engage in casual conversation, and soak in the beauty of one of Beverly Hills’ hidden gems.

Come for the fresh air, stay for the company—hope to see you there!

By the way, parking is also free.

Optional: After the walk, we can meet up at Urth Caffé in Beverly Hills for a group brunch for anyone who’d like to grab a bite. It’s just a quick 5-minute drive from the park, and it’ll be a great opportunity to continue socializing and mingling.

Urth Caffé Address
267 S Beverly Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90212
