Couch Rock
Driving up Gridley Road away from Ojai you’ll come upon a small parking lot on your left and a gate barring the way to a dirt road. Park here, as close to the mountainside as possible and head onto the trail.
Follow the trail until you see pass a bench, and start heading downhill. Keep your eyes peeled, and look on your right. You’ll find a small trail heading up a steep hill. Beware here, fo...
Rock Climb at Foothill Crag
From downtown Ojai, head north on N Signal Street. Head up the hill and turn left onto a gravel road next to a chainlink fence once you get to the top.(There should be a sign that points to "Pratt/Foothill Trailhead.") Continue past a water tank on the right to a trailhead parking area. I've gone ahead and put a pin on the parking area/trailhead start up above. Grab your top-rope anchor set up...
Camp at Dennison Park in Ojai Valley
Great little campsite very close to the town of Ojai.
My discovery of this gem was totally coincidental. I was trying to book a hotel room in Ojai; however, that particular weekend all the rooms that were within my budget were sold out. Instead of giving up, I looked for alternative options and found this little campsite halfway between Ojai and Happy Valley. Since I love camping, this was a g...
Climb at Wheeler Gorge
Grab a dozen quick draws, your 60m rope, and head up Highway 33 out of Ojai for 7 miles (One of the routes here describes the crag perfectly, a Riparian Daydream). Drive through one tunnel, and continue on for another mile or two until you reach two tunnels in quick succession. The crag is in between those two tunnels, just below the bridge in the creek. You can park before you reach the two tu...
Rose Valley Falls
...It's not often that you come across 100 ft waterfalls. This moderate to easy hike to Rose Valley Falls leads you to one of the tallest waterfalls in the Los Padres National Forest. The hike begins at Rose Valley Campground. If you're not staying at a campsite, park outside the entrance of the campground and follow the signs to the trail.
The lower tier of the falls from the start of the tra...
Piedra Blanca Formations
These white sandstone formations, splitting out of the forest, are a worthwhile sight as you climb up to gain a great vantage point of the valley. Spend some time exploring the rocks - the nooks & crannies are full of surprises. You can turn this into an overnighter by staying at the campground.
Park at the "Lions Camp" parking lot. Save yourself the worry of a ticket and contribute your s...
