Luckily this trip is doable year-round but my recommendation is late spring or early fall to avoid summer heat and tourists. From wineries to oysters on the water to boutique hotels, I hope this day-to-day guide will be an inspiration for your next CA road trip.

Curated by
Lynette Briones
I am lucky enough to call the charming neighborhood of Eagle Rock my home. I love the energy, diversity and personality of the East side of Los Angeles. Pasadena, my neighbor further East, was recently recognized by the New York Times as one of the "Best Places to Go in 2024". It is where I spend a significant amount of time, and it is the epitome of picturesque charm. I love sharing my world with out-of-town guests so they can experience the bridge between the eclectic East Side and the serene allure of Pasadena.
