When I lived in So. Cal, and even when I spent time in the Sequoia NP and NF, I never found a tick on me. I think I only found one on the entire 15 years I lived there, and I spent a lot of time bushwhacking around in those parks and the Tehachapis.

But after a rainy winter (like 2010/2011, or 2018/2019), I've been hiking with people who have gotten ticks in the Santa Monicas and even in the San Gabriels. Spring of 2011 was the worst. After a hike at the Circle-X Ranch, one of my companions had two ticks, and two of us had one apiece.
