Urban Highlands

View west from the Phantom Trail in Malibu Creek State Park

The view west from the Phantom Trail in Malibu Creek State Park to the Boney Mountain massif a few minutes after sunset.

The highest point in the Santa Monica Mountain Range, Sandstone Peak (3111′), is the triangular-shaped peak on the skyline on the right-center of the photograph.

Most of the Santa Monica Mountain Range is part of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. Comprised of more than 150,000 acres and 500 miles of trails, the SMMNRA is the largest urban national park in the United States.

From Sunday’s run in Malibu Creek State Park.
