While downtown LA is all about glitz and glamor, Simi Valley is a great place to experience SoCal's natural beauty. Stretching for 7 miles, the Arroyo Simi Bike Path will take you past ancient oak trees, flower fields and bubbling streams. Las Llajas Canyon offers sweeping views of Wood Ranch, Bard Lake, and the greater valley, while Santa Susana Pass State Historic Park is dotted with rugged trails and pretty picnic spots.

Sun and soul music in Simi Valley

Southern California is famously sunny, which highs soaring to the mid-80s during the summer. If you're planning on hiking or spending the day at Disneyland, late spring or early fall bring cooler weather. The city always fills up fast during May's Cajun & Blues Music Festival. After a long day of dancing there's nothing better than cooling off in a private pool, so be sure to book your Simi Valley vacation rentals well in advance. If celebrity spotting is on your radar why not visit from December to February, when LA throws famous awards shows like the Academy Awards and the Grammys?
