While hidden out of sight from the city of Los Angeles, people can easily access surprisingly wilde places in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. Visitors can explore over five hundred miles of hiking trails or have fun at the beaches in Malibu. Cultural and historical sites abound throughout the massive park, from Native American centers to old movie ranches. Those exploring the area can climb a mountain and soak their feet in the waters of the Pacific Ocean or explore the Paramount Ranch during the day, and at night, take in the marvelous sight of the Milky Way.
