4. Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)
Since its opening at LACMA in February 2008, Urban Light has been unofficially adopted by Los Angeles as a symbol of the city. Made up of 202 cast iron lamps that once lit the streets of LA, this unique display is a must-visit.
The lamps turn on at dusk around 10pm, so swing by then for a photo of them all lit up.

Just two hours from LA, this abandoned bridge on a washed-away road in the San Gabriel Mountains is a popular hiking spot. It’s a 10 mile round-trip hike on the East Fork Trail along the San Gabriel Riverk, so be prepared for a workout.
Oh, and you can even bungee jump off the bridge itself if you dare. A wild Los Angeles Instagram shot.
