Sunday Concerts at Peter Strauss Ranch

We spent this afternoon enjoying the sites and sounds of this ranch, in the heart of the Santa Monica Mountains. Previously owned by actor Peter Strauss, the property has been part of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation area for many years.

The Sunday Concert series hosts a wide variety of musical styles. Today's artists was an autoharpist named Bryan Bowers. He was an excellent musician as well as a gifted storyteller.

The concerts are held in a rustic amphitheater, so it is best to bring your own chairs and/or blankets to sit on.

If you want to make a day of it, there are several hiking trails in the park that lead you to wonderful ridge-top views.
