Hi everyone,

I'm planning a road trip for next August, and one of the legs will be from Williams, AZ, to Needles, CA.

My current plan is to leave Williams in the early afternoon and reach Needles in the evening. Along the way, I'd like to make a few stops, especially in Oatman.

Based on your experience, around what time does the heat start to become more bearable? Would it be reasonable to arrive in Oatman around 6:00 PM and take a walk at that time?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

We'll be staying in Venice Beach for a couple of nights next August. Do you think it's feasible to visit Beverly Hills, the Hollywood Walk of Fame + see the Hollywood Sign, Downtown LA, and Elysian Park all in one full day?

Our plan would be to leave early in the morning and end the day watching the sunset from Elysian Park.

We'll have a car, but I'd rather drive as little as possible. I was wondering if it might make sense to park in Beverly Hills and then use public transportation for the rest of the day.

If it helps, it'll be a Saturday and the Dodgers will be playing at 6 pm.

How would you optimize the itinerary, especially considering traffic and the August temperatures?

Thanks!

Hi everyone! I'll be staying in Santa Monica for a couple of nights next August.

I came across an event called Sunset Swim at the Annenberg Community Beach House and it looks interesting.

Has anyone been? Is it worth checking out if I'm looking for a local experience rather than a typical tourist activity?

Thanks!
