Located in the heart of the Santa Monica Mountains, 696-acre Las Virgenes View Park is a joint project of the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, the City of Calabasas, and the Las Virgenes Municipal Water District.
The Las Virgenes View Trail is an easy 2.4 mile climb through a landscape of chaparral, oak woodland, and a riparian zone highlighted by sycamore, black cottonwood, willow and bay trees. A rare native valley grassland contains purple needle grass, and blue-eye grass. Hikers, mountain bikers, and equestrians can wind their way up to scenic vistas at an elevation of 1,100 feet. Spectacular, 360-degree views from the top of the trail include Malibu Creek State Park, Stokes Canyon, Saddle Peak, Goat Buttes, and Lady Face Mountain.
