The Santa Monica Mountains offer easy access to surprisingly wild places. Experience the famous beaches of Malibu or explore more than 500 miles of trails. The park abounds with historical and cultural sites, from old movie ranches to Native American centers. Located adjacent to the city of Los Angeles, the second largest urban area in the USA, the Santa Monica Mountains represent one of the largest protected areas of the terrestrial Mediterranean-type ecosystems and coastal marine environments anywhere in the world. The climate of the Mediterranean ecosystem along with the diverse topography in the Santa Monica Mountains has created a landscape filled with unique natural resources. Over 1,000 plant species provide habitat for approximately 500 mammal, bird, reptile, and amphibian species. Inspired by the area's rugged beauty, Anderson Design Group poster artists created this vintage - looking national park poster art. Available as a print, banner, canvas, sign, notecard, or postcard, this artwork would look stunning on any wall.
