10 Favorite Things About LA, #9
My 9th favorite thing about LA is driving Coldwater Canyon. There are a lot of fun roads to drive in LA, including Mulholland, but for my money, Coldwater Canyon is the best. If you get it on a sunny day, with minimal traffic, it is almost like being in another world. It definitely does not feel like you're driving through Los Angeles. You can double your fun by taking Coldwater all the way from Ventura Blvd as well. Despite the bad rep of driving in LA (and it is well deserved in most cases), if you stay off of the freeways, there are certainly a ton of fun drives to be had in the Greater Los Angeles area.
