Boney Mountain Peak is one of the most iconic and spiritually significant landmarks in the Santa Monica Mountains, rising dramatically above the Conejo Valley and visible from miles around. Located within the Point Mugu State Park area, the peak is accessible via several challenging trail routes from Rancho Sierra Vista/Satwiwa and Danielson Monument.
Revered by the Chumash people as a sacred site, Boney Mountain offers more than just a physical climb—it provides a deeply spiritual and awe-inspiring journey through nature. As hikers ascend, they’re treated to sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, Channel Islands, and surrounding mountain ranges. The terrain shifts from shaded oak groves and flowing creeks to rugged rock formations and open ridgelines.
This peak isn’t for beginners—it’s a challenging trek best suited for experienced hikers ready to climb over 2,800 feet in elevation. But for those who make it to the top, the sense of accomplishment is unmatched. The raw beauty, quiet stillness, and cultural history create a rare experience that blends adventure with reverence.
Boney Mountain is more than a destination—it’s a landmark of the soul.
