Most folk don't associate Los Angeles with snow, but Southern California does get snow in the high elevations of it's mountains during winter. Boxing Day in 2019 brought a wet and cold storm from the Gulf of Alaska to the southland with snow reaching the 2500 foot level. What made a mess of the mountain passes for travelers between LA and the Central Valley and the high desert afforded amazing views of the city with a backdrop of snow covered mountains. So after taking sunrise pictures from Griffith Observatory, I fired up the Prius again and headed to Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area in the Baldwin Hills for some picture of the city and the mountains.
Interesting bit of trivia...it snows in Los Angeles every year. While the average elevation of the City of Los Angeles is under 1000 feet, the elevation in the city ranges from Sea Level to just over 5,000 feet at the summit of Mt. Lukens north of Glendale.
