According to The Canyon Chronicle, the SMMNRA is a great escape from Los Angeles' urban jungle. Here are their top reasons to visit us:

  • Enjoy the mild Mediterranean climate, one of five such rare places in the world.

  • Relax at the Visitor’s Center at King Gillette Ranch right in the heart of the Santa Monica Mountains.

  • Marvel at the Milky Way at night.

  • Climb a mountain, soak your feet in the Pacific Ocean, eat a fish taco…all before noon.

  • Step back in time and discover what Southern California looked like before major urban development.

  • Learn how Native American communities lived in the mountains for more than 10,000 years.

  • Explore more than 500 miles of trails available for hikers, runners, mountain bikers, and equestrians.

  • See wildlife like bobcats, quail, coyotes, dolphins, and maybe even the elusive mountain lion.

  • Did we mention our perfect weather and year-round recreation?
