Enchantment is the right term here.
The Santa Monica Mountains are GORGEOUS, the hiking is AWESOME, the views, tremendous & when you done reveling in the splendor of these jagged, wooded mountains, head down the canyon road to the BEACH & swim, cool off & dine in fabulous, eclectic cuisine. 15 miles but a WORLD apart.
Pros: Beauty, Mild Climate, Swim & dine in 15 min
Cons: Too low for snow
