O: Pinos, Sawmill, & Grouse
O: Mount Pinos (8831), Sawmill Mountain (8818), Grouse Mountain (8650) - Enjoy the pine-forested trail of this three peak trek and connect interesting history, geology, and outstanding panoramas. Mt Pinos is the high point of Ventura County and center of the world for the indigenous Chumash. Sawmill Mtn, high point of the Chumash Wilderness and possible high point of Kern County, presents excellent views of the San Andreas Fault as it travels northwest towards the Carrizo Plain. Grouse Mtn, deeper in the Chumash Wilderness, proffers the sense of solitude that remote hiking inspires. Well behaved dogs on leash and hikers welcome. All dogs must be kept on a leash no longer than 6 feet in length. Totals for this out and back route are 10 miles r/t and 2000 gain. Adventure pass required. This is a backcountry outing, and a medical form required: https://tinyurl.com/ycy985mt.
