    Great natural and ethnological history center. Good bathrooms and drinking water, power plugs and shade make it a superb break spot.

    A long time the Chumash and Tongva/Gabrielino cultures lived in the Santa Monica Mountains. Near this point there was a village called „Satwiwa". In the Culture Center you can learn about this history.

It's a journey through varied ecosystems, perfect for a peaceful nature walk.

    This 2.8-mile (4.5 km) hiking route is rated easy, with a minimal 232 feet (71 metres) of elevation gain, and typically takes about 1 hour and 14 minutes to complete. The trailhead is easily accessible at the Satwiwa Native American Indian Natural Area, which provides convenient parking.
