Ranching and Riding in the Santa Monica Mountains


Before it was parkland, the Santa Monica Mountains was home to farms and ranches. Two presentations (starting at 12:30 and 2PM) will explain and demonstrate the rich ranching histories of King Gillette Ranch and Malibu Creek State Park (formerly known for decades as the 20th Century Ranch). Meet the horses and a Mounted Volunteer Patrol team that help keep our parks safe today.  Views restored carriages from the 1800's.  Bring your camera!

Santa Monica Mountain Interagency Visitor Center Park Store is operated by Western National Parks Association, a nonprofet partner of the National Park Service.  Your purchases help support national parks across the West.  For more information call 805 370-2302 or email samo@wnpa.org.
