Malibu Canyon Piuma Ridge

Directions & Trail Map
Located on the spine of the central Santa Monica Mountains on the divide between the Malibu Canyon and Cold Creek watersheds, Malibu Canyon Piuma Ridge is accessed up twisty Piuma Road. The park includes one formal picnic area perched above the Malibu Creek Gorge on the upper side of the hairpin turn of Piuma Road east of Malibu Canyon Road. A few short trails lead off of Piuma Road on both the north and south facing slopes of the range. The north slope is blanketed by thick fog banks in the summer. As a result, the area supports one of the largest contiguous oak woodlands in the range. The understory is also lush.

Directions: Located on the south side of Piuma Road about .25 mile beyond the Piuma Overlook (uphill.)

Address: Piuma Road, Malibu
