Mount Pinos, Mountain summit in Los Padres National Forest, California, US.
Mount Pinos rises to 8,847 feet with slopes covered in Jeffrey pines and white fir trees at the boundary between Ventura and Kern counties.
The mountain formed over 100 million years ago within the Transverse Range, with the San Andreas Fault running along its northern section.
The Chumash people named the mountain Iwihinmu and consider the summit, Liyikshup, as the center of their world according to their traditions.
Visitors can reach the summit through a 2-mile hike from the parking area at Los Padres National Forest Road S349S, requiring moderate physical effort.
The mountain serves as a premier astronomical observation point in Southern California due to minimal light pollution and clear atmospheric conditions.
