Description
If you want to avoid paying the $10 parking fee and still enjoy the beauty of Malibu State Park, you can access the area by parking on Mulholland Highway and hiking the Grassland Trail. On Earth Day 2016, CORBA and SMMTC helped open a new part of the trail that bypasses an old steep section. Besides having a shallower grade, the new bypass has better views and is much safer than the old segment.
