I've lived in So Cal my whole life and the only mountain king I've found was in Warner Springs, a no-take area about 3 hours south of Encino. If I were you I would head up the 405 to the 5 to the 14 (Antelope Valley Freeway) and go to Palmdale/Lancaster area - the outskirts have many desert roads good for cruising at night for snakes. Use Google Earth and locate some rocky outcroppings near roads and target those areas. Good Luck.
