10 Weekend Getaways from Los Angeles | AOL Travel
I was born and raised in Southern California and am still amazed by all of the truly worthwhile places to visit that are easily accessible by car from LA. AOL Travel offers a curious list of choices considering a few of them are actually in Los Angeles itself. They highlight obvious places (like Santa Barbara, San Diego and Big Sur) and some less celebrated locales (Ojai, Paso Robles), but don’t even touch on any of the nearby parks like Joshua Tree, Death Valley or Yosemite, or mountain towns like Big Bear and Mammoth. And they just as easily could have ventured out of state to Las Vegas, Scottsdale or Sedona, all of which are not terribly long drives.
