Point Grandview
Point Grandview sits at 600 feet along the Arroyo Seco Historic Parkway (Route 110), facing due north. The terrain drops 303 feet within 600 meters of the overlook. From this vantage, Greayer's Oak Park lies to the northeast at 1.2 miles (411 ft elevation), Rio de Los Angeles State Park is north-northwest at 1.3 miles (360 ft), and Lummis Park is also northeast, 1.5 miles out, at 404 feet. Los Angeles is the closest town, 2.0 miles to the south-southwest, with Long Beach 21.6 miles south and Anaheim 24.8 miles southeast. Daylight hours vary across the year: on the June solstice, sunrise is at 05:43 and sunset at 20:08, while the December solstice sees a shorter span, from 06:55 to 16:48. The equinoxes fall close to twelve hours of daylight, with March sunrise at 06:57 and sunset at 19:05, and September sunrise at 06:42 and sunset at 18:51. The overlook's northward orientation and elevation place these parks and towns within sight, making it a fixed point for observing the surrounding terrain drop and the layout of nearby green spaces.
