It is made up of smaller distinct cities that range from the dry Santa Monica Mountains, to the Pacific Ocean. There a rivers that flow through Los Angeles such as the River of Los Angeles, San Gabriel, Rio Hondo, and Santa Clara river.

Los Angeles has the most ideal weather anyone can ask for. Perfect for relaxing out by the pool or going out for a night on the town.
