The Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area in California offers easy access to surprisingly wild places, from famous beaches in Malibu to over 500 miles of trails, along with a wealth of historical and cultural sites, including old movie ranches and Native American centers.
Visitors to the park can explore the wonders of LA's very own national park, learn about the park's efforts to restore native plants and the largest native species of frogs in the western United States, and hike the 67-mile Backbone Trail that connects the Santa Monica Mountains from east to west.
