• Jim Cicchese has over 28 years of experience in the California real estate industry.
In 2013, he accepted his current position as realtor with Keller Williams Westlake
Village. Outside his professional responsibilities, Jim Cicchese leads an active
lifestyle. He enjoys traveling and frequently goes mountain biking around the
Santa Monica Mountains, particularly at Cheeseboro Canyon.
The Santa Monica Mountains provide outdoor enthusiasts with a variety of
activities, such as the stunning 67-mile Backbone Trail for hikers. Mountain bikers
also frequent the area. Popular biking sites include the Cheeseboro and Palo
Comado Canyon area, the Zuma and Trancas Canyons, and certain sections of the
Rancho Sierra Vista.
With its beautiful views from atop Simi Peak, the Cheeseboro and Palo Comado
Canyons remain especially popular among locals and tourists alike. Apart from a
variety of native and European plants, visitors to the canyons can also encounter
wild animals such as coyotes, bobcats, and hawks. More information on biking
trails and other activities can be found on the National Park Service website,
