There are plenty of fun outdoor activities to do to celebrate autumn in Southern California. You can roam around pumpkin patches and apple orchards, and check out Halloween and Dia de los Muertos festivities. Danielle Dorsey, LA Editor at Thrillist, has some suggestions to get into the season:
Where to see fall foliage:
- LA Arboretum in Arcadia
- Enchanted Forest of Light at the Descanso Gardens in La Cañada Flintridge
