San Gabriel and San Fernando valleys
The northern limit of LA is defined by two long, wide valleys
lying over the hills from the central basin, starting close to one
another a few miles north of downtown and spanning outwards in
opposite directions - east to the deserts around Palm Springs, west
to Ventura on the central coast. You wouldn't miss an awful lot by
not visiting the valleys at all, but they do give a picture of life
in LA's suburbs
