Description

This road features a long climb that leads you to Nordhoff Ridge Road. The first two to three miles follow the creek with two water crossing and some shade, but this part is probably the steepest of all the 8.5 miles.

When you emerge from the canyon and start climbing the side of the mountains, you'll be exposed to the sun, but at the same time you'll enjoy beautiful views of Ojai Valley and the Topatopa Mountains.
