This is the historic, peaceful resting place of Amelia Earhart and other great aviators. Good for a walk or to pay your respects.

Today was the 50th anniversary of a plane crash into the Portal of the Folded Wings that occurred on July 18, 1969. In aviations most ironic accident, the plane crashed into a monument erected in honor of dead pilots, and disintegrated into 1,000 pieces while the wings fell 70 feet to the ground and landed in a folded position at the foot of the Portal of the Folded Wings. The lone survivor, Dale Black, hovered over his body between life and death, and was eventually escorted to heaven by two angelic beings. Read all about it the best-selling books Flight to Heaven and Visiting Heaven. I have personally bought and given away hundreds of these books. These will be your new favorite books!

Absolutely beautiful. It is a tribute to many who devoted their lives to flight. If you go, be aware it sits on the grounds of a cemetery and there may be services occurring while you are there.

The church is beautiful the reason we were there not so much, we laid my uncle for his final rest here. Ill miss you my dearest uncle GusLa bala perdida Aka your nephew

Quaint and peaceful shrine with beautiful architecture. Its worth a visit if youre in the area looking for something to do for free.

The portal is in the Pierce Vallhala Cemetery off the Hollywood Way side entrance. My wife is buried near the portal,so I visit this almost daily. The monument in itself is a nice monument. However its a magnet (the reason for lower mark)for selfies and other idiots who give you the finger for just trying to enter the cemetery to visit our dead love ones!! How dare someone die and disturb their IG and Facebook shoots!!!

Real lovely.

A quiet place to come and reflect on life
