Go hiking somewhere on Christmas day and feel like the Grinch as you look over the city full of light. For LA I recommend Mt. Wilson or Baldy if it's not too cold

Sounds like fun. I'm new at Hiking, though. Where's the best place to park and start the climb?

I'm going to vacation in Los Angeles for four days in January. Any recommendations of what to see and do? No night clubs or bars please. I want to see things that I wouldn't be able to see in other cities.

Disneyland and Knott's have a lot of family-oriented stuff and will be packed on Christmas time. Same with Universal. Six Flags might be a good bet, as it is the least family-friendly major park in the the LA area. Also, if you wanted to try a lesser-known one, Castle Park is an okay one, though it will not be as epic as the big parks.

If you like train stuff, check out the Orange Empire Railway Museum in Perris, on the far eastern outskirts. They have tons of working full-size historic trains on display including several working LA electric streetcars from almost a century ago. They also have streamlined diesel train and steam train rides.

Also, in the parking lot area across the street from Knott's Berry Farm in Orange County, there is a full-scale exact replica of Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Walter Knott stated in his will that admission to it would always be free, and it is that way today.

Lastly, there are a handful of ruins of old Spanish Missions in the area from the 1700s and early 1800s. The best set of ruins is in San Juan Capistrano on the southern edge of Orange County.

Oh, and you have to try Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles.

Visit Venice Beach and smoke some legal weed and pretend to be Arnold Schwarzenegger in his early 20's.

Go visit the awesome museums like LACMA.

Visit movie sets and tool around in Hollywood like a movie star. Visit scenic locations from popular movies.

Come down south about an hour from LA and visit the local vineyards and then after, fly in a real hot-air balloon.

Visit the amazing beaches like Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach and the like. Meet people here and mingle.

Visit and see nightly street racing in Compton just like in the movie Fast Furious and see a dark side of culture you wont be able to see anywhere else in the world.

I live in Calabasas now, I am originally from St.Louis. I am probably spending Christmas alone too. I am smoking a Turkey with applewood, and making ribs. Wish you could come over.
