Frazier Mountain is located in a special spot where three counties meet. These are Ventura, Los Angeles, and Kern Counties. The mountain is just northeast of where these counties come together.

The towns of Frazier Park and Lake of the Woods are north of the mountain. A big highway, Interstate 5, runs along the east side of Frazier Mountain.

Other mountains are nearby too. Mount Pinos is about 21.5 miles west by road. To the south, you can find Alamo Mountain and the Sespe Condor Sanctuary. This sanctuary is a protected area for the California condor, a very large bird.

What's at the Top?

The very top of Frazier Mountain is a special area used by the Forest Service. There are radio towers there that help with communication. You can also see an old fire lookout tower, which was once used to spot wildfires.

You can reach the highest point of the mountain by a forest road. This road is usually open when there is no snow on the mountain. It offers amazing views of the surrounding areas.
