  • Los Robles Trail
    Los Robles Trail elcome to the Los Robles Trail and Open Space system. This ridgeline trail system with its many neighborhood feeder trails is located at the southern portion of the Conejo Open Space and encompasses nearly 2,000 acres. The Los Robles Trail traverses several open W space areas including Skyline, Conejo Ridge, South Ranch, Los Robles, Hope Nature Preserve, Southern Ridge, Ventu Park, and Deer Ridge. The western terminus of the Los Robles Trail provides access to the Rancho Sierra Vista/Satwiwa section of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area and Point Mugu State Park, which together create a public backcountry of over 27,000 acres of open space that stretches to the Pacific Ocean at Sycamore Cove. This scenic region provides panoramic views of Hidden Valley, the Conejo Valley, and the Channel Islands. Many species of wildlife including the Southern Pacific rattlesnake, coyote, bobcat, and mountain lion inhabit the park. Los Robles Trail is also unique in its historical significance. On February 28, 1776, Juan Bautista de Anza and his band of 198 settlers and 1,000 head of livestock came through the Conejo Valley on their way from Mexico to San Francisco. Though the 101 freeway is the actual route, the National Park Service has designated the Los Robles Trail as the official recreational route so that everyone can enjoy the only national historical trail in the State of California. Approximately 25 miles of trails provide a contiguous route from Westlake Village to Newbury Park with several shorter loops into narrow canyons and up steep ridges.

  • From Great Hikes and Movie Locations to Epic Views, Explore the Range of Recreation Options in the Santa Monica Mountains by Matt Jaffe
    into our Wild From great hikes and movie locations to epic views, explore the range of recreation options in the Santa Monica Mountains By Matt Jaffe ate one afternoon many years ago, I headed out for a hike in Franklin Canyon above Beverly Hills. As I climbed the chaparral-covered slopes, a red-tailed hawk wheeled overhead and a coyote yipped in the hills. I had to re- mind myself that this wild landscape lies just a few miles from Rodeo Drive. I first learned this place was part of something bigger after seeing Lsigns bearing the National Park Service’s familiar arrowhead-shaped emblem. Franklin Canyon belongs to the Santa Monica Mountains OXNARD THOUSAND National Recreation Area (SMMNRA), the world’s largest urban national OAKS park. Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, the park rambles from BURBANK the Hollywood Hills to the Oxnard Plain and protects 150,000 acres. But unlike traditional national parks such as Yosemite and Yellowstone, MALIBU LOS ANGELES SMMNRA’s land is not contiguous; it is an amalgam of federal, state, and SANTA MONICA local parklands stitched together after a decades-long grassroots effort. I’ve been hiking the Santa Monica Mountains for about 30 years now, and in that time I’ve experienced the range’s many moods: meadows For a detailed map of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area and brightened with California poppies and lupines, high peaks veiled in information on sites mentioned in this story, go fog, and even a fast-moving wildfire raging at the end of my street.
