Tarantula Hill
Tarantula Hill, also known as Dawn’s Peak, is a peak in Thousand Oaks, California. It is located on a open space and is operated by the Conejo Open Space Conservation Agency. Climbing Tarantula Hill is a steep trail; the trailhead is located at 287 West Gainsborough Road, across the road from the main entrance to Conejo Valley Botanic Garden. Atop the mountain there is a 360-degree panoramic view of the Conejo Valley, the Simi Hills and the Santa Monica Mountains. There is also a fenced-in water reservoir located on top. It was once a popular hang-gliding site.
The hill is located near the center of the Conejo Valley.
