Los Angeles County

A view of the harbor, San Pedro.

Description 

The sprawling Los Angeles County is home to more than 10 million residents. The city of Los Angeles itself (pop. 4 million) is the second largest in the United States (New York City is first).

The San Fernando Valley (to the northwest of the L.A. Basin) and Santa Monica Mountains host an assortment of climbing on primarily soft sandstone. Malibu Creek State Park, located off the 101 freeway near Calabasas, is a funky volcanic rock type.
