Inscription.
Ladyface Mountain climbs to 2,031 feet above sea level and is visible for many miles.
Legend has it that the Chumash Indians, who used the mountain as a perch to view the entire Conejo Valley, gave the mountain the name "Ladyface." The topography appeared to them to be reminiscent of a woman looking up to the heavens, perhaps awaiting the return of her lover.
In the early 1900s, this icon of the Santa Monica Mountains Recreation Area became a popular stop for travelers who refreshed themselves in the natural spring, which runs seasonally at the foot of the mountain.
Ladyface features a popular hiking trail and geocaching station. The trailhead is located off Kanan Road, approximately one mile south of the 101 freeway.
