We will hike Sulpher Mountain trail on Thursday. This trail is hard to post because after it rains it is too muddy, then it gets too hot but right now it is PERFECT. Also, there is a new restaurant owner at the old J&M Cafe and he is really great. The restaurant is in Oak View, just 5 minutes off the trail up Hwy. 33. It is called Noa’s. This hike goes up the Sulpher Mountain fire road, 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 and everything is very green. Our gently-sloping route will be approximately 6 miles, with about 1000’ 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 Noa’s Cafe, a mile north on 33 in Oak View, on the right. (formerly J&M Cafe)
Our usual restrictions apply – no plus-ones; no dogs; only show up if you’re on the “Attending” list.
