27 Days California Destinations United States

Day 1 – Elysian Park

Swing at Elysian Park

On the first day of the 27 day adventure (September 29, 2018), we decided to visit Elysian Park during sunrise, which is located in Central LA. There is a secret swing at the top of a hill, not many know about it yet. The hike to the top is only about 5 minutes but it is pretty steep so be careful. On the top of the hill, there is a nice view of the city skyline and mountains. To find the entrance to the trail, we just put “Swing on Top Of Elysian Park” into Google maps and it navigated us directly there.

We spent about 30 to 45 minutes here taking pictures on the swing. We were also able to get some cool shots with a drone. The swing actually works (you can swing pretty high if someone pushes you) and is in good working condition!
