Parts of SMMNRA Re-Open | Malibu
Staff at the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area have resumed regular operations, though some areas of the park remain closed due to impacts from the Woolsey fire.
Paramount Ranch, Rancho Sierra Vista/Satwiwa, Cheeseboro/Palo Comado Canyons, and the Santa Monica Mountains Visitor Center are open. The popular Sandstone Peak Trail has also reopened, but the rest of the park will remain closed until further notice.
“Our employees, myself included, are looking forward to rolling up our sleeves and continuing the work needed to restore our public lands and all of our trails after the devastating Woolsey fire,” SMMNRA Superintendent David Szymanski said. “Serving the American people and welcoming visitors, old and new, to LA’s national park, is what we do best.”
