Fall looks a whole lot different in LA. For starters, we can hit the beach until November (and beyond). And our kids can go apple picking one day and swimming the next! And did we mention Halloween? Because Los Angeles has loads of pumpkin patches as well as being the birthplace of scary Halloween haunts!

Fall is also the perfect time for day trips and weekend getaways to the mountains near Los Angeles, so dig into some of our favorite local fall excursions!
