Festival of Lights

Every Christmas season, Griffith Park's Crystal Springs Road is lit up with colorful lights and scenery sponsored by the Los Angeles Water & Power. A portion of this road is transformed into fantasy for adults and children alike. Music waifs into the night air and suddenly you feel joyous of the season. I've had occasion to hike the hills behind Crystal Springs Road at night during this season. There's nothing to put you into the Xmas mood more than viewing the scenic displays from atop a hill, hearing the sounds of Christmas carols filling the air. It's very soothing and relaxing. If you've never frequented Crystal Springs Road during the festive season, I would definitely prescribe it for one and all. The road is opened around 5:00-7:00 p.m.. Crystal Springs Road runs almost parallel to the Los Angeles Zoo. You're in for a beautiful breathtaking surprise - somthing you can tuck into your fond memory banks.
