Unaffected by the horrific fires in the Santa Monica Mountains, the Ojai foothills offer a calm alternative.
This route ascends from the Girl Scout camp, through petroleum-scented oak forest, through the cattle grazing ranch land at the top to the overlook above the town of Oak View. We’ll have spectacular views of the Ojai Valley, Lake Casitas, and the mountains to the north. Our gently-sloping route will be approximately 6 miles, with about 500’ of elevation.
Parking is limited on Sulphur Mountain Road, and it’s well outside our typical hiking area, so carpooling is encouraged!
Lunch afterwards at Om Thai Cafe, a mile north on 33, on the right.
Our usual restrictions apply – no plus-ones; no dogs; only show up if you’re on the “Attending” list.
