Whether you’re visiting Los Angeles from far away or live here, there are a lot of ways to enjoy Griffith Park. You can explore the park on your own, take a horseback riding tour, sign up for another walking tour, hire a private guide. We encourage you to do them all! Taking advantage of all these options will allow you to enjoy the park from a variety of perspectives. What makes Earth City Wonder unique is that we tell the stories that make Los Angeles what it is today in the context of the natural environment that shaped those stories encouraging our guests to experience the park with all their senses.

We’ll talk about the geology that formed California and the L.A. area, and several of the most common communities in the South Coast bioregion: riparian, sage scrub, oak woodland, and chaparral. And we’ll connect these natural wonders to the four major eras of human society in California: from the pre-columbian Tongva/Gabrieleno days to New Spain and Mexico to U.S. territory and Statehood. This will include the history of the movies, the park, and the sign. On top of this we’ll discuss the waves of migration from the end of the 19th century to the present that make Los Angeles the culturally rich destination for people all over the world that it is today.

False. This is going to be super fun.
