USA day 3 part 2 - Griffith Observatory

23-Jun - Second half of the day was spent visiting the Griffith Observatory. We rode the subway to the Sunset/Vermont Red Line Subway station before transferring to the LADOT shuttle bus which brings us all the way up the Hollywood mountain to the observatory. Griffith Observatory is a facility in Los Angeles, California sitting on the south-facing slope of Mount Hollywood in Los Angeles' Griffith Park. It commands a view of the Los Angeles Basin, including Downtown Los Angeles to the southeast, Hollywood to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the southwest. The observatory is a popular tourist attraction with an extensive array of space and science-related displays.
