Sightseeing
Beautiful hiking, camping, and viewpoints in the Los Padres National Forest. Mt. Pinos is the highest point in Ventura County at 8,847 feet. It’s also the highest point in the Transverse Ranges west of the Tejon Pass. This makes it a popular recreational spot for skiers, astronomers and during the summer hikers. The tall pines and alpine meadows on the way up are as much a part of this trip’s appeal.
From I-5, take exit 205 (Frazier Mtn. Park Road) and head west for 12.1 miles. En route, Frazier Mtn. Park becomes Cuddy Valley Road. Bear left to stay on Cuddy Valley Road (if you find yourself on Mil Potrero Highway you’re in the wrong direction) and follow it 8.5 miles to its end at the Nordic Ski Base. The views along the way are excellent but the road is narrow so exercise caution. A National Forest Service adventure pass ($5 per day or $30 per year) is required.

The shortest of the trails in Pine Mountain Club is also the most strenuous and it is not suitable for small children. Though it is only 3/4 of a mile long, this trail winds over rock slides and up a stream bed to a beautiful pair of small waterfalls. It is stunning in the spring and early summer when the runoff is the heaviest.
Drive to the top of Woodland Drive and park in the cul-de-sac. A sign marks the entrance to the trail. Follow the path along the stream as it winds through the canyon. Please do not trespass on the lot next to the trail. As you near the base of the waterfall, the trail turns into the rocks that have fallen in the stream bed.
After reaching the lower falls, think twice before climbing to the upper section. The climb up is very difficult and the climb down is even harder. The rocks are very slippery. If you do reach the top of the falls, continuing up the mountain is very difficult and not recommended.
