Boney Mountain in Ventura County, #California is one of the highest peaks in the Santa Monica Mountains. It is visible from the Rancho Sierra Vista/Satwiwa (where this photo was taken) and Circle X Ranch units of @santamonicamountainsnps. The Chumash Native Americans have a long and deeply spiritual history of interaction at and near the #mountain, and the peak is considered a sacred mountain to the Chumash people. An ancient #Chumash village known as #Satwiwa was located at the foothills of the mountain, which remains sacred to the Chumash people. Satwiwa is believed to be first inhabited 13,000 years ago and was still a Chumash inhabitation site as of 2,000 years ago. #ca #cahistory #SpreadTheHistory #historygirl #sanamonicamountains #nps #nps102 #FindYourPark #travelblogger #travelblog #blog #blogger #ushistory #americanhistory #nationalpark #nationalparkgeek #nationalparkservice #park #goparks #explore #boneymountain #venturacounty #ranchosierravista #nationalrecreationarea #optoutside #wnpa1938 (at Rancho Sierra Vista) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1SWDiZHBwE/?igshid=duyiw24qw44
