Having all the boxes checked for the highest peaks in LA San Bernardino & Orange counties. I have yet to even take one hike in ventura. I figure why not take on all 4 of it highest in one shot...Has any one been to this area lately?
I suspect it would be very warm and and early start would be mandatory.

Pardon my ignorance, but what are the four highest in Ventura County?

I've been up Pinos and Sawmill.  Also Reyes and Haddock.  Possibly Abel, but can't remember.

Good hiking out there.  It can be hot, but Pinos is above 8k and stays a bit cooler.

I've done the hike from Pinos to Abel & back twice in the last month.  The trail is in excellent condition.  Lots of up & downs on the way.  There are ducks marking the use trails to both Sawmill & Grouse.

I figure it's about 13 miles RT.  Temps were comfortable both times.....shorts & t-shirt weather.

I think Mt Pinos, Frazier Mtn, and Reyes Peak are the three highest in Ventura County.  Not sure about the fourth.

Oh, dear, we seem to have a difference of opinion.

Sawmill Mountain is the highest point in Kern County and Grouse Mountain is on the border of Kern County and Ventura County, but the peak itself actually lies in Kern County. Cerro Noroeste is also in Kern County.  It used to be called Mt Abel after some Kern County dude.

Either way, jsut climb all of them and you can check off the high points in Ventura County and Kern County.

edenooch - when you planning to knock the Ventura Peaks out?

I'm curious if you have a list; it'd be interesting to see.  I know the top three for San Berdoo County: San Gorgonio Mountain (11,502'), Jepson (11,208'), and Bighorn (11,000'), but I've not thought about LA County, let alone OC.

I guess LA would be:  Baldy, West Baldy, and Baden-Powell.
Just looked it up.  I'm wrong.  From peakbagger.com:
