Mugu Peak Trail Guide

Point Mugu and the valleys above it were originally Chumash lands. The Chumash would hunt and fish along the coast, and then bring it up to villages in the valleys behind Mugu Peak. Image Museum of Ventura County

We’re going to hike in a clockwise lollipop loop. The view on this 3d map is accurate; it’s a tough climb directly from the coast.

Not many climbs in SoCal do 1200 feet of climbing in 1 mile, but the Mugu Peak Trail does. On the way back down, we’ll take a gentler slope so that we can enjoy the ocean views.

The trailhead is at the end of the parking lot.

The lot is a decent size and is across from the old Navy Seabee gunnery range (with the tower across the street).
