Mulholland Scenic Corridor:
Mulholland road was built in the 1920s "to take Angelinos from the city to the ocean." From parkway vista points you can see panoramas of the city, mountains and beaches, or hike trails into pockets of wilderness hidden in the canyons. Mulholland Scene Corridor runs approximately 50 miles from Griffith Park to Leo Carrillo State Beach, and links city, county, state, and federal parks within the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.
William Mulholland:
This road was named for William Mulholland, former chief engineer for the Los Angeles City Water Department. As early as 1913, Mulholland promoted the concept of a scenic highway to make the mountains accessible to the people of Los Angeles. |
