Dos Vientos Open Space

Originally a part of the Rancho Guadalasca Spanish Land Grant of 1836,[1] the area is now an important wildlife movement corridor into the Santa Monica Mountains through the Point Mugu State Park.

[2] It provides a habitat for a variety of wildlife, including bobcats, mule deer, coyotes, eagles, hawks, barn owls, mountain lions, and more.

[4] The landscape is undeveloped,[5] and dominated by coastal sage scrub, grassy hillsides, oak woodlands, and chaparral habitats.

[9][10] The master plan for the neighborhood was approved in the 1980s, but took off after major infrastructure was built to support the homes in 1998.

The Vista Del Mar Trail climbs up the Conejo Hills with overlook points with panoramic views of the Santa Monica Mountains, Boney Peak, Camarillo, Topatopa Mountains, Pacific Ocean, and the Channel Islands.
