Exploring Ojai: Arts, hiking, funky shopping and travel tips for this hip California town
From Los Angeles, Ojai, Calif., is an easy road trip of 80 miles, but it feels like an eternity away from the hustle and bustle. Nestled among the mountains and orange groves, the peaceful mountain town of Ojai is a true melting pot for artists, musicians and outdoor enthusiasts.
Things to Do
Grab some coffee from Ojai Coffee Roasting Company to get the pep for your day, and stroll the town to check out the local art culture. Ojai is an arts town; there's even space in the city hall where a rotating art exhibit features the work of local artists. Over at The Ojai Art Center, which holds the distinction of being the longest continuously operated multi-disciplinary art center in the United States, you'll find exhibitions, art workshops and theater performances. Wander down Ojai's side sreets to explore the studios of working artists; many of them will open their studios upon request. The Ojai Studio Artists non-profit organization hosts a studio tour in the fall, but can also be a wonderful source for getting closer to the town's art scene.
Besides the arts scene, Ojai is known for its many beautiful parks, and in the middle of it all is Libbey Park. Located in the center of town, Libbey Park is host to many of the city's cultural events, including the Ojai Music Festival, an event with a unique approach that rotates musical directors and a mix of classic and contemporary music.
Video: Exploring Ojai
Ojai's valley location, surrounded by mountains, means amazing hiking trails with gorgeous mountain views and ample opportunities to encounter wildlife. Some of the trails start right in downtown, and there are trails of all difficulty, whether you're seeking a family hike or a quad-burning mountain climb. For a relatively quick excursion that offers easy access to great overlook views of the city, head to the Shelf Road Trail.
All of the hiking is sure to build an appetite, though, so renew your energy with tapas at Azu or a meal at The Garden Terrace. Unsure where to eat? Take an Ojai food tour and you'll find yourself in the kitchens and talking to local chefs and culinary masters.
After lunch, browse the downtown shopping for a bit of Ojai to take home. Most of Ojai's shops and boutiques are located in and around the main shopping arcade right in the center of town. Inside these boutiques, like jewelry maker Love Heals, the focus is on artisan-style quality and uniqueness. You'll find that same sense of curated, quality goods at Rains of Ojai. A fixture in the town since 1914, Rains is filled with kitchen, home and garden accessories, clothing and gifts.
After a day of exploring, shopping and hiking, the luxurious four-hand massages and relaxing yoga classes at Ojai Valley Inn and Spa are a much-deserved treat. Ojai is an active town, and there are plenty of recreational options on this 220-acre luxury resort, including golf and tennis, Pilates workouts, swimming, horseback riding and hiking, art classes and even a camp for any children in the party.
Lodging and Accommodations
Besides the Ojai Valley Inn and Spa, which has a number of luxury penthouses in addition to its 308 rooms and suites, Ojai's hotels and lodging options tend to favor smaller, boutique and independently-owned inns and bed-and-breakfast establishments. You'll find even more options if you are willing to spend the night in the nearby (and larger) towns of Ventura and Oxnard, Calif., both of which are on the Pacific coast.

Sespe Creek Trail Backpacking Trip Quickview - Ojai, CA
Located just up Rt 33 into the Los Padres National Forest outside of of Ojai lies the Sespe Wilderness. The Sespe Creek winds through the valley providing a strand of green life in the midst of a desert landscape.
The trail starts from Piedras Blanca trailhead in the Rose Valley Recreation Area, and we hiked as far as Willett campground. With some extra hiking to various POI's our trip clocked in at just over 20 miles round trip.
The Sespe Creek is designated as a National Wild and Scenic River and National Scenic Waterway, and is untouched by dams or concrete channels. It is one of the last wild rivers in Southern California.
Leave it better than you found it!

Rose Valley Falls Initiation
A friend and I ran into a group at Rose Valley Falls and told them about the really great secret cave at the base of the Lower Falls. We also told them about the ancient Indian tradition of having to exit the cave under the waterfall.
The cave is really neat. It's high enough to stand in, smooth limestone and travertine walls with sparkling quartz crystals and even small stalactites and stalagmites. Be sure to take a flashlight or headlamp with you.
Crawling out under the falls is definitely the COOLEST way to exit. As you can see from this group of initiated hikers, it is certainly the most memorable and fun way out.

Cozy Dell Trail Review - Ojai, CA
Complete Cozy Dell Trail Review from Maricopa Highway to the Fire Road.
The Cozy Dell Trail is an out-and-back trail in the west end of the Ojai Valley. At 3.75 miles round trip to the fire road and back (including a walk up to the second view point) and 886 feet of elevation gain this trail is good for everyone. This is a popular trail and you should expect to see other hikers on your trip. Located in the Los Padres National Forest this trail is open to dogs, horses, and hikers. There are also other trail options stemming from the fire road if you do want to extend your hike or potentially turn it into a loop.
With rolling hills and views looking out over Ojai and Oak View we will certainly venture out to the Cozy Dell Trail again sometime soon.

Snow in Ojai, California
This is the first snow of the year in Ojai. This was shot the day after it snowed on November 22, 2013. It actually snowed on November 21, 2013. This footage was shot on Gridly Trail, just about 5 miles up from the city of Ojai. I was mountain biking in Ojai on this day, with my Kona Process.
No Place Like Home Nojoqui Falls
If you are like a lot of locals along the Central Coast, you occasionally see signs for attractions here and there and think One day I'm going to take that exit and check that out. But the day never comes. Well, we paid a visit to one of those attractions this week and found out the Nojoqui Falls offer another reason there's No Place Like Home.
Just a short jaunt off Highway 101 near Gaviota, it's a little hide-away worth exploring.
Just the beauty, the cool air, and the sound of the water, says Chrissy Hunt of Buellton when asked why she brings her dog up there fairly regularly.
The Nojoqui Falls are part of a Santa Barbara County park that offers an easy getaway from the hustle and bustle we all need a break from now and then.
The 100 foot falls aren't massive, but worth a visit. And the rain we got this winter and spring makes now a great time to make the trek. Amy Ganci lives in the San Fernando Valley now, but grew up in Santa Barbara. She brought her daughter up to check it out. It's beautiful! I haven't been up here probably since I was in high school, and it's gorgeous.
You can thank the Santa Ynez earthquake fault for this little natural wonder, and unlike many waterfalls, the Nojoqui falls fall outward over a sandstone wall that continually grows as the water leaves calcium deposits behind.
It provides a natural playground for the young and a chance for young and old to re-discover the peace to be found in these kind of environments.
You don't have to make a day-trip out of it. It's five minutes off Highway 101, maybe a five minute walk and you are sitting in a little place of serenity. Breathe it in and then head back and hit the highway if you'd like.
The walk up is very easy, it's only a quarter of a mile or so. Anyone who isn't up for it shouldn't mind passing the time at one of the picnic tables at the bottom of the hill. There's a wonderful amount of birds down there. In fact, this morning we saw a barn owl up in one of the Palm trees, says Jan Ross, who was visiting from Goleta.
There is beautiful vegetation around and a creek that flows from the falls making the journey up as enjoyable as the destination. We all need to relax now and then, and fortunately for us, there are plenty of places to do so, right in our own backyard.
