Agoura Hills

Agoura Hills and Westlake Village are cities in the Ventura County region. Though they are a part of Los Angeles County, they share the Conejo Valley with Thousand Oaks and are separated from the San Fernando Valley by the Simi Hills and Santa Monica Mountains.

Get in
Take the 101 North; once you have passed the Lost Hills exit, you are in Agoura Hills. When you have passed Lindero Canyon exit, you are no longer in Agoura Hills.

Los Angeles public transportation has one line in. During the summer, a special bus funded by the city takes passengers to and from Malibu beach.

Get around
Best by automobile, as none of the sites are public transit accessible.

See
North of the 101 Freeway, Agoura Hills is a typically suburban bedroom community and of little interest to most travelers, however, south of the 101 lies the scenic Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area where you will catch sight of breathtaking views.



Do
There are free summer concerts in the park. In the 90s, Agoura Hills was known as a "mecca of music," launching music sensations Linkin Park and Hoobastank.

There are a number of places where you can hire horses to ride.

There are plenty of trails to explore. Chesebro Canyon has some of the best hiking trails in all of Los Angeles. Many begin in Agoura Hills and take you to Pacific Coast Highway. You can hike in the opposite direction and once you reach the top, you'll be at a sulfur spring. There is no shortage of biking trails either.
