Description

Bird's-eye view from Palisades Park towards Santa Monica Beach facing northwest. Four people (two women in view, two farther ahead) walk down the Idaho path at right. A portion of the refurbished Palisades Park wooden rail fence is viewed atop the cliff. Beach homes line Pacific Coast Highway at left.
The original rustic branch fence at Palisades Park was gradually replaced with both a wood rail and a concrete fence. The project was completed around 1946.
