Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox mountain

Conejo Mountain is a Шаблон:Convert in Ventura County, California near Camarillo on the eastern boundary of the Oxnard Plain.[1][2][3] At the western edge of the Conejo Valley, it is adjacent to the Santa Monica Mountains. Crossing what was once a formidable barrier for travelers, U.S. Route 101 passes through the area on the steep Conejo Grade.[4]

The mountain was once a large volcano about 14 million years ago, but it has been extinct for millions of years. The mountain was under sea-level at one point.[5] Mining operations have been ongoing here since 1959 and most of the mountain is owned by the Pacific Rock mining operation.[6]

The Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, Pleasant Valley Recreation and Park District and Conejo Open Space Conservation Agency have interest in administrating the area as protected open space.[6] Trails reach into the area from Pepper Tree Playfield and Dos Vientos Community Park via Dos Vientos Open Space in southwestern Newbury Park.[7][8][9][10][11]
