Las Virgenes Canyon Malibu California, painting by RD Riccoboni. Considered the recreational crown jewel of the Santa Monica Mountains, Malibu Creek State Park has over 7,000 acres of rolling tallgrass plains, oak savannahs and dramatic peaks. It's no wonder many call it "The Yosemite of Southern California". The park, formerly owned by 20th Century Fox Studios, opened in 1976. The stunning terrain here that has been seen all over the world in movies and television. Beacon Artworks Collection Old Town San Diego State Historic Park San Diego, CA
