Mulholland Highway traverses east-west, through the Southern Transverse Ranges, between U.S. Route 101, and State Route 1 (i.e., Pacific Coast Highway), in Los Angeles. Mulholland Highway is the westernmost extension of Mulholland Drive. Mulholland Drive's easternmost terminus begins from Cahuenga Boulevard, in the Hollywood Hills, although the name Mulholland Highway applies to a paved road segment east of there and continues as an unpaved road through to Griffith Park. The western unpaved segment punctuates Mulholland Drive and Mulholland Highway, and traverses the northern slope of the southern Transverse Ranges, from Beverly Hills to Woodland Hills. Mulholland Highway formally begins in Calabasas, and extends to its westernmost terminus, at Leo Carrillo State Park, on Pacific Coast Highway. Wholly contained within Los Angeles County, this scenic byway was formally opened circa 1925. In tandem with Potrero Road, Mulholland enables motorists to zigzag the entire length of the Southern California Transverse Ranges, from Camarillo all the way to Hollywood, without having to rely upon Pacific Coast Highway or US 101.
