Hills: LA’s Unexpected Terrain
Let's clear something up right away: Yes, there are hills in Los Angeles. In fact, there are a whole bunch of them. Like, a ridiculous amount. It's like the city decided to play a prank on everyone who moved here with dreams of cruising down endless flat boulevards.
Tip: Watch for summary phrases — they give the gist.
The Santa Monica Mountains are the obvious culprits, but even in the heart of the city, you'll find yourself unexpectedly huffing and puffing up some seriously steep incline. It’s like living in a constant game of uphill battle.
QuickTip: Every section builds on the last.
