Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area

Hidden in plain sight from Los Angeles’ urban jungle, the Santa Monica Mountains offer easy access to a surprisingly wild place.

Experience the famous beaches of Malibu or explore more than 500 miles of trails. The park abounds with historical and cultural sites, from old movie ranches to Native American centers, where communities lived in the mountains for over 10,000 years. Did we mention the perfect weather and year-round recreation? Here you may enjoy the mild Mediterranean climate, one of 5 such rare places in the world.

This is where we ride.
