Take a hike {at Runyon Canyon}.

 

Hiking at Runyon Canyon is by no means an experience in the great wilderness. However if you're looking for a fun hike highlighted by people-watching and amazing views of the Hollywood Sign, the Sunset Strip and the Los Angeles Basin, then this trail is for you. The Runyon Canyon Loop is about three miles round-trip, and there are numerous smaller hiking trails throughout the park. *Bonuses: There's the occasional celebrity sighting and an off-leash policy for dogs.

Guest Post: Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson’s House is For Sale After the Split

After almost four years of marriage, Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds are calling it quits. And they’re selling their house in Los Feliz. Their home just went up for sale for $3.65 million dollars. They only paid $2.9 million for it in 2010. So, they’re looking to make a profit. They’ll probably be able to get at least $3.5 million for it, thanks to all the renovations they made.

The official name of the ex-couple’s house is the “Wong House.” Buff & Hensman built it in 1969, and it is mid-century modern in style. The house’s walls are made of beautiful, sturdy glass, and the house overlooks a gorgeous scene of Los Angeles. The Wong House includes numerous decks and a large salt-water pool.

The former couple spent a great deal of money installing solar panels and adding other eco-friendly elements to the house. Additionally, the ex-couple’s home is on a half-acre lot that showcases some of Johansson’s favorite plants and flowers. The house’s high-security gate and large collection of surveillance cameras make it an ideal investment for another celebrity pair.

We’ll just have to wait and see who picks up the Wong House next!
