Will Rogers State Historic Park

The Best Picnic Spots In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Pick-Up Food Options: Flour Cafe + Pizzeria, Armav, Sasabune Express If you’ve ever fantasized about leaving this world for the grassy meadow depicted on the Hidden Valley Ranch bottle, may we suggest planning a picnic at Will Rogers State Historic Park? The grassy oasis in question is the former estate of Will Rogers himself. It lies in the Santa Monica Mountains in the Pacific Palisades area, and you’ll find hiking trails, polo fields, and dogs, lots of dogs. In addition to plopping on the grass and pretending you are a crudite stick, it’s nice to hike the 2.1-mile Inspiration Loop, or point and stare at a horse and say “horse!”" - brant cox, arden shore
