With the cold and snow down to around 3000', this year's hiking was limited to lower elevations, and LA has a lot of opportunity there.

My friend Nina was out this holiday so we hiked every day we could. On the 23rd we hiked in Towsley Canyon. On the 24th we hiked in Topanga SP to Skull Rock, overlooking Santa Monica Bay. On Christmas Day it rained and snowed, so we saw a movie in Hollywood and then ate Chinese food at the Formosa Cafe.

On the 27th we met Mark to hike in the Verdugo Hills above Glendale, a good place from which to see the snow on the local mountains. I've never seen so
much snow at so low an elevation.

On the 28th we hiked in Griffith Park, to Mt Hollywood's summit, it was gorgeous and many other people were also out hiking.
