The Dos Vientos open space consisting of 1,216 acres and 41 miles of shared use trails (hiking, cycling, equestrian) was originally part of the Rancho Guadalasca Spanish Land Grant of 1836.

Dominated by chaparral and coastal sage scrub habitats, this area provides a home for a wide variety of wildlife as well as rare and endangered plants including Conejo Buckwheat, Verity’s dudleya, and Conejo dudleya. Mountain lions are known (although uncommon) inhabitants, as are coyote, mule deer, and bob cat.
