At 8,283 ft (2,525m), the summit of Cerro Noroeste is the 4th highest in the region. It sits just outside of the Chumash Wilderness and can be reached by a paved road - which will be closed following the first snowfall and likely re-open in May.

There is a campground here, "Campo Alto" located amongst the pines and the remains of a ski lodge (with quite a colourful history) and some remnants of the ski lift to discover.

As a start point for heading towards Sawmill Mountain, it makes for a more challenging, but arguably more interesting route than approaching from Mount Pinos.
