Next Weekend: Take a Tour of King Gillette Ranch
A view from the top (Zach Behrens/LAist)
Definitely one of our favorite afternoon get-aways of last year, King Gillette Ranch is a fun and historic piece of land that's fun to explore. Next Saturday, weather permitting, enjoy "Walking on the Razor's Edge," a tour of a unique location that brings together the seemingly disparate worlds of a razor mogul, a famous movie director, and one of the largest Chumash Villages. Learn about the home, the garden, and the landscape in the Santa Monica Mountains on this 1.5 hour excursion. Put on shoes and clothes appropriate to the weather and for some moderate hiking, leave your dog at home (sorry!) and don't forget to bring $7 for the parking fee.

One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere.
