Expansive views of Santa Monica Bay and Los Angeles.

There is an overlook spot here on the side of the trail that allows you to take a break and enjoy the hillside. Don't plan on spending too much time here as there is not any shade, but luckily you are just a short downhill stroll away from the Native American Culture Center which will allow you to escape the direct sun.

It is a short walk up the hill and you will be awarded with a 270 degree look around at the pacific ocean. It's a perfect place to watch sunset specially in the winter season. Bring some good shoes if you start from the parking spot along the ocean. The point is also accessible from the Birdview Dr as well as from the Cliffside Dr. This is strongly recommended for handicaped people and seniors. Parking uphill in summer can become an issue.

It is our tradition to visit a high mountain on the first day of the new year. The sattle peak view point is 720 m above sea level and provides an outstanding view to the pacific ocean and to the valley. It is great for a short holiday walk.

Magical hiking. Not for beginners or weak of heart. Very difficult returning, no traffic and through downhills, will have dust, stones and flora… you will enjoy nature and yourself !!!
