More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You start on a sunlit boulevard, the sound of traffic reduced to a distant hum as a voice in your ear points to a plaque or a skyline angle you’ve walked past a dozen times. The Autio pass hands you a local narrator—actor, historian, or longtime Angeleno—who stitches landmarks into human stories as you walk, drive, or sit at a pier bench.
