Pine Mountain Lodge

A serene mountain meadow is the reward for a heart-pounding 3,000-foot climb.

Pine Mountain Lodge

A serene mountain meadow is the reward for a heart-pounding 3,000-foot climb.

Details

Let’s take advantage of this winter’s surprisingly balmy weather with an exhilarating hike into the usually snowbound high country.  We’ll meander uphill along a babbling stream before making a final charge up the south face of Pine Mountain, the 7,500’ ridge that forms the east-west spine of the Sespe Wilderness backcountry.
 
At nearly 12 miles round trip and with nearly 3000’ of elevation gain, this hike will be strenuous and is suitable only for hikers in very good condition.  
 
Our hike will take us about eight hours to complete, so plan on a full day outdoors and an evening return home.
 

Directions

Hikers originating in L.A. should plan on leaving no later than 7:00am to meet the coordinator at the halfway carpool point (Camarillo Park-and-Ride at US Highway 101 and Pleasant Valley Road) at 8:00am SHARP! (At the Pleasant Valley / Santa Rosa Road exit on northbound 101, turn left at the first signal, onto Pleasant Valley Road, which immediately crosses back over the freeway.  At the next signal, you will see a Mobil gas station on the corner to your right; turn left at the signal and loop around to the “Park and Ride” lot.)
