The holidays are over, and a new year is sparkling with promise. We’re still in the midst of winter, but luckily, in L.A., that doesn’t hold us back. When others across the country are battling snow and the sniffles, we can kick-start our new year’s resolutions outdoors, with comfortable temps in the 60s and 70s. So embark on one of the city’s best hikes or spend a day at one of L.A.’s best beaches. (Or, if you don’t want to let go of the holiday season quite yet, hit up the handful of outdoor ice rinks and light displays still hanging on.) Then tackle as many of the activities on our January events calendar as you can—from Lunar New Year celebrations to the best art exhibitions and more.
