Iwihinmu (Mt. Pinos)

It was a good day for a hike to the top of a mountain. Dad and I summited Mt. Pinos (8,847 ft.) in the Transverse Ranges of Southern California. It’s the high point of Ventura County and I intend to chalk it up to my list of “bagged” peaks. It was very windy, which I imagine is probably common given its location between the cool coast and the hot interior valleys. There are two ways to get there. We chose the shortest one.

This mountain is sacred to the Chumash people, so treat it with respect.
