Blast back to the 1970s with a driving tour of Los Angeles The 1970s turned 50 in 2020. The LA Conservancy is celebrating with a self-driving tour that includes the Westin Bonaventure Hotel, left. (Myung J. Chun / Los Angeles Times) Feb. 4, 2021 7:30 AM PT Design and illustrations by Jade Cuevas Good morning, Golden State travelers. This week’s adventures take us to some surprising locales — the first Whale Heritage Site in the country, a waterfall in Yosemite National Park and back-to-the-'70s Los Angeles. Whether you take these trips this weekend — or save them for later — depends on where you live and your comfort level. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, you should continue to stay within 120 miles of your home until we hear otherwise from the state.
