Picture sitting in a classically designed gondola and moving slowly through the architecturally stunning neighborhoods of Venice. Are we talking about Venice, Italy? No, we are referring to Venice, California, and instead of taking a gondola through the canals, we walk at our own paces to soak in the stunning beauty of the Venice Canal Historic District.

One of the unique characteristics of Southern California is you can sit in five lanes of traffic on a local freeway one minute and 10 minutes later, lose yourself in some of the most spectacular natural splendor found anywhere in the world. Such is the case with Santa Susana Pass State Historic Park, which towers over the vast residential and commercial development in the San Fernando Valley.
Overview of the Park
Located in Los Angeles County, Santa Susana Pass State Historic Park sits where the Simi Hills merge with the majestic Santa Susana Mountains. As the western section of the Transverse Range, the historic park includes tall, narrow ridges and very deep canyons richly full of chaparral and trees native to the Mediterranean climate of Southern California. Panoramic views of the surrounding wilderness and bustling neighborhoods of San Fernando Valley captivate park visitors.

Like many aspiring actors, Nathan and Ruth Hale relocated from Salt Lake City to Southern California to pursue their movie career dreams. Shortly after arriving in Glendale during 1943, the couple immediately realized the only way to ensure getting acting gigs was to open and operate their own theater. In 1947, Nathan and Ruth rented a small building in Glendale and the Hale Centre Theatre became synonymous with first-rate musicals.
A first night audience of six guests did not deter the Hales and eventually, the theater grew to accommodate more than 110 patrons of the fine arts. Operating now as the Glendale Centre Theatre, the family operated venue hosts numerous well-known theatrical productions that appeal to guests staying at Holiday Inn Burbank.
