One Bike, One Purpose

There’s nothing like mountain biking in the pines! Mt Pinos is the tallest peak in Ventura County at 8820 feet. Although it’s a strenuous ride up the mountain, it’s mucho fun (especially on the downhill return). It’s 99% rideable and 100% fun.

Directions: Mt. Pinos is about an hour and a half drive from the Conejo Valley. Drive north on I-5 about 25 miles beyond Magic Mountain, taking the Frazier Park exit. Turn left and go under the freeway. The road becomes Frazier Mountain Park Road after about 2/3 mile - follow it 6.25 miles until you get to Cuddy Valley Road and bear right onto it. Drive for another 5.1 miles to the parking lot where it meets Mil Potrero Hwy (FR 9N05), just before Cuddy Valley Road turns into Mt. Pinos Road. Parking is in Los Padres National Forest so you will have to buy a $5 Forest Adventure pass (one per car so it pays to carpool!)
