The Mugu Rock is a distinctive feature of the coastal headland promontory that has been featured in many film shoots and television commercials. Mugu Rock was formed when a path for the Pacific Coast Highway was cut through the mountain. It marks a western end of the Santa Monica Mountains, and the old Rancho Guadalasca boundary. It is a popular but dangerous place for fishing, sightseeing, cliff diving, and rock climbing up the sheer sides of the rock itself.

@Judy aka L@dybug: There were many points along the Pacific Coast Highway where the rocks and boulders seemed to be looming over our heads. Many areas had wire mesh screening to prevent rock slides as well. I was in the passenger's seat during this shot. Tomorrow's photo is from the other side and will show how the mountain was gouged out.
