The Demonstration Trail in the Botanical Gardens located in the foothills above downtown ventura is a light 1 mile climb with a great views the whole way up.This trail won "Best of" awards in the categories of Hiking Trail (1st place) and View(3rd place). By the 2015 VC Reporter's awards. This hike starts behind the State building and winds its way through local vegetation and to the cross - views of the coast line and west ventura. It is packed dirt trail with some steps on the steeper incline to the top and a couple of different routes to switch up the hike, if your like me you will probably do this one more than once. It is a great before or after work hike.
Sulfur Mountain Trail in Ojai is only a 10 minute drive from downtown Ventura. This is an 11 mile jeep trail that goes up the whole way through tight switch backs and gorgeous views of the Ojai valley. If you are looking for a longer hike or a little off road bicycling- the ride down is fast and full of tight turns. Don't worry if you see oil hear its not from a spill, it is natural seepage!
Wildwood Park in Conejo Valley is home to 400’ deep Wildwood Canyon. You can navigate your way down on any of the 9 trails that are surrounded by steep walls and abundant cacti. The beautiful Paradise Falls is near the bottom. There are shaded picnic areas to stop and snack at before ascending back to the top to check out Lizard Rock.
