Golden Hour in the Gardens

Take a twilight walk through The Huntington’s historic grounds this summer. Beginning in front of The Rose Hills Foundation Conservatory for Botanical Science, the tour winds through the Scott Gallery Loggia and the Shakespeare Garden, then circles behind the Huntington Art Gallery. From there, it follows the camellia path to the fountain at the end of the North Vista. The walk concludes in front of the Library, just as the sun slips behind the San Gabriel Mountains.
