The Mountain Enterprise/Mountain Pioneer is a community paper serving the residents of Frazier Park, Lebec, Gorman, Lake of the Woods, Lockwood Valley, Cuddy Valley, Pinon Pines, Pine Mountain, Neenach and Grapevine.

The Mountain Enterprise was founded in 1966 by Nedra Hawley Cooper, who produced the first editions on a blue Royal typewriter.  After numerous owners over four decades, the paper's ownership was consolidated in November of 2006 among the three working managers, Patric Hedlund, Gary Meyer and Pam Sturdevant.

On July 14, 2007, this tiny mountain weekly newspaper won three awards for excellence in journalism at the 119th annual conference of the California Newspaper Publishers Association, including First Place for Best Website, First Place for Environmental Reporting and Second Place for Public Service Reporting.
