The extraordinary features of Ventura County are attracting people and businesses like a giant magnet. An ever-increasing flow of visitors come here to see the diverse points of interest and participate in a wide variety of cultural programs. Some of those visitors like what they see so much they move here, establishing their permanent home in this area. Most new residents settle in one of the 10 incorporated cities in the county. Yet the vast majority of the county is wilderness - pristine, natural beauty seen only by relatively few fortunate individuals. Most of the untouched areas are part of Los Padres National Forest and Santa Monica Mountains, along with a portion of Channel Islands National Park. Tim Hauf's captivating photos seen on these pages provide a rare visual perspective on the great variety of scenes and activities making today's Ventura County so popular with so many people., ISBN13: 9780965968874 ISBN10: 0965968871 Material Type: hardcover
