About Mt Pinos
Mount Pinos or in the Native American Chumash language, "Iwihinmu," was considered to be the center of the world, the point where everything was in balance. At 7,800 feet, the campground, bursting with views of mountains and valleys, is an ideal base for several hiking trails. The dark and clear night skies make this a picture-perfect stargazing setting.
