On a clear day, you can enjoy views of Santa Catalina Island while at night, the view of the city’s iconic neon lights creates a picture-worthy carpet of colors. After the hike, indulge in an authentic Japanese dining experience at our five-star restaurant in California, offering a sushi bar, happy hours and more!
