Dick Smith Wilderness

Dick Smith Wilderness is 64,000 acres of rugged Los Padres backcountry that doesn’t care about your comfort level. Named after a legendary California conservationist who fought to protect it, this wilderness delivers steep chaparral-covered ridges, remote canyons, and solitude that actually means something. No cell service. No shortcuts. Just you and some of the most unforgiving—and rewarding—terrain in Southern California. Rep the wilderness that separates the casual from the committed.
