Balanced on the narrow spine of Piuma Ridge, the popular David M. Brown Overlook affords prime views and many distant glimpses of the 110-square-mile Malibu Creek watershed. This includes Malibu Creek State Park, 588-acre King Gillette Ranch, and portions of the 65-mile-long Backbone Trail, all of which conservationist David M. Brown had a significant role in preserving as public parkland.
