1. Mulholland Scenic Corridor Marker
Mulholland road was built in the 1920s "to take Angelinos from the city to the ocean. From parkway vista points you can see panoramas of the city, mountains and beaches, or hike trails into pockets of wilderness hidden in the canyons. Mulholland Scenic Corridor runs approximately 50 miles from Griffith Park to Leo Carrillo State Beach, and links city, county, state, and federal parks within the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.
Las Virgenes Valley
People have been using this valley for more than 6,000 years. Indians hunted here, and Spanish and Mexican rancheros raised cattle and horses. At one time major studios owned ranches for use as movie sets. One of those ranches, the 20th Century Fox Movie Ranch, is now part of Malibu Creek State Park. Today you can picnic, fish, hike, and ride through this rich and varied landscape.
Erected by National Park Service.
