Matillija and Dick Smith Wilderness Map

The Dick Smith Wilderness and Matilija Wilderness are both within the southern Los Padres National Forest.  They are located in the mountains roughly north of Santa Barbara, northwest of Ventura and south of the Cuyama Valley.  Most of the trailheads are less than an hour from a nearby freeway, yet the high peaks, trails and deep canyons that span the wildernesses remain relatively quiet from human visitors.  No matter what your backcountry passion (hiking, backpacking, peak bagging, horse riding, climbing, hunting/fishing or reading under a tree) there is a spot waiting for you to explore in either the Dick Smith or the Matilija.  This newest edition (2013) of the Dick Smith & Matilija Wilderness Map is a complete update from the original print version (2008).  New colors, updated trail information, new camp additions, completely reviewed mileages and….. (drum roll)….. a backside of the map!  The backside has write-ups on each of the wilderness trails that include GPS coordinates of each camp, backcountry history, detailed information of each trail and a dash of local flavor.  The backside also has a bunch of pictures, trail elevation profiles and a small satellite map locator.
