This place is famous for a reason: it's spectacular and beautiful. This would be best (double)waterfall along the Columbia Gorge area. However because of that, there are so many people here anytime and kind of crowded. Fortunately there are plenty of parking spots and the trolley also makes frequent stops here, and most people just spend like half an hour(of course you can spend and explore the area for hours and hours if you want). The waterfalls are in very short walking distance to the road. And if you want, you can also hike up more(like over a mile). Even more, you can hike to other waterfalls nearby too. Waterfalls are great and worth to visit. There are nice and clean restroom here too, with a gift shop and cafe on site.

A historical court house with rich history and a nice garden. It has great view of Santa Barbara town. Definitely worth to pay a visit. Plenty parking space along the street and lots of information inside the building.

Visited this small but nice museum in LA. Can't compared with Getty but it's quite good as well. Lots of visitors when I was there but not too bad, not crowded. Admission is free and you do need to check-in. Depending on people, you can spend 2 hours or even a whole day there easily. Collections are interesting though I wish they could have more. Still it's a nice contemporary museum, worth to pay a visit.
