Let's do a 4.5 out-and-back up a ridge to a 360° view in lovely Ventura. Ocean for miles! Ogle the Channel Islands! Let's get some exercise while experiencing the unique beauty of southern California.

It's an out-and-back up a ridge to a stunning ocean view. There are opportunities for gorgeous sunset photos and a chance to see the power of erosion on the surrounding ridges.

If you'd like to bring a snack to share, we can sit at the top and relax for about 10-15 minutes as we watch the sun descend. Bring a headlamp or a charged phone, as the sun will have set before we return to our vehicles.
