Why you should go…

Angels Flight is a narrow-gauge funicular that has carried riders up and down Bunker Hill in downtown Los Angeles since 1901. Its two counterbalanced cars, Olivet and Sinai, cover 298 feet of track with a 96 foot rise between Hill Street and California Plaza on Grand Avenue. The railway was dismantled in 1969, rebuilt half a block south in 1996, and returned to service in 2017. You board at the lower station on Hill Street or at the top on Grand Avenue.
