The 9.5 miles drive is a scenic two-lane connector that runs from 101 hwy near Calabassas to PCH 1 in Malibu. From 101 to Piuma Road, it is called Las Virgenes Road. South of that point to PCH 1, it is Malibu Canyon Road. It is the southern section in particular that is the most scenic. It runs through a deep canyon with steep cliffs on both sides. Large sandstone outcrops can be seen on both sides with waterfalls in wetter years.
