Discover Los Angeles’s Great Outdoors
Adventure-seekers and nature lovers alike travel here from all over the country and the world, and for good reason. The Los Angeles area is the ultimate destination for families, hikers, and experienced travelers.
One of the area's most distinctive characteristics is its unique environment and diverse plant species. The rich vegetation — due to many types of landscape, from wetlands to beaches, snow-capped mountains, and coastal scrublands — coupled with the area's terrain of flat sections and hills makes it perfect for road trips.
Here are a few of our favorite places to experience the outdoors in Los Angeles:
Mojave National Preserve
Mojave National Preserve is the third-largest area in the United States National Park System. Located in Kelso, California, this 1.6 million-acre landscape is a hub of amazing scenery and exciting activities. Adventurers can enjoy biking, hiking, hunting, and horseback riding. Some want the 4WD experience on the off-beaten roads, while other travelers may prefer wildflower walks.
One of the top attractions is the Kelso Dunes, which is a 3-mile round trip desert hike. Travelers can also visit the Lava Tube, Rings Loop, and do a scenic drive of Joshua Tree. With a private charter bus rental, the drive from Los Angeles to Mojave takes under 2 hours, leaving you with plenty of time to appreciate everything this beautiful national preserve has to offer.

Yosemite National Park
This national park is home to spectacular viewpoints such as the Yosemite Valley, waterfalls, meadows, rock formations, wetlands, sequoia groves, cliffs, and so much more. Scheduled and special programs, activities, and tours are available for travelers of all ages and groups of all sizes.
Yosemite National Park has over 750 miles of trails you can explore by camping and hiking. You can also consider auto-touring along the scenic Tioga Road, a 46-mile drive to discover jaw-dropping spots along Yosemite Valley.
Bring your own bike, camping, fishing, or birdwatching gear. You may also choose the simple life by gazing at the stars at night and joining volunteer programs by day. For unique adventures for your group, opt for water or snow activities everyone will love.

Yellowstone National Park
Whether in summer or winter, travelers can enjoy numerous activities at Yellowstone and Grand Teton's world-class parks. Be entertained with boardwalks to the Thermal Basins, and observe geysers and hot springs up close.
Scenic drives through the Grand Teton National Park are a great opportunity to enjoy its stunning views and wildlife. View the east shore of Jenny Lake, and drive to the Moose-Wilson and Signal Mountain Summit Road. Other activities include hiking (there are almost 1,000 miles of trails here), photography sessions, horseback rides, camping, fishing, and boating in selected areas.

Bryce Canyon
With over 9,000 feet of elevation and the largest range of hoodoo rock formations in the world, Bryce Canyon is mesmerizing. This seemingly endless canyon offers great outdoor adventure.
Located on the outskirts of Utah, it’s within driving distance from Los Angeles. The journey is best enjoyed in a comfortable bus rental: LA to Bryce Canyon is an 8–9-hour drive, dotted with scenic spots, including the popular Bryce Amphitheater. Take a rest at night by stargazing at the 2019 Gold Tier International Dark Sky Park Award-winning night sky. You can also go see the Visitor Center Museum exhibits or view wildlife in selected canyon and plateau sections.

Charter a Bus to National Historic Sites
These places are well-preserved locations in and around the Los Angeles area that hold plenty of cultural and historical highlights.
John Muir Trail
The well-known trail named after John Muir, the “Father of the National Park Service,” is a popular national historic site surrounded by 360 acres of beautiful grasslands and oak woods. Because the trail stretches across the Sierra Nevada mountain range, many travelers prefer to camp in their transportation.
Check out the seasonal programs like wildflower moon and bird walks across Mt. Wanda or customize your trip across Yosemite, Kings Canyon, and Sequoia National Parks.
