Harmon Canyon Loop ~ Gentler Intermediate

Forecast for this trail area is cool and pleasant, (middle 60s°F to low 70s°F between 8:00-12:00) with light to modest breeze rather than strong wind.

Harmon Canyon Preserve, established in 2020, includes 2,123 acres of ridgelines and canyons that feature diverse coastal sage scrub and coast live oak woodland habitats, ephemeral stream crossings with riparian scrub systems, and breathtaking views of our local coastline, the Santa Monica Mountains, and Channel Islands National Park. This spectacular preserve is the largest permanently protected open space in the Ventura area with public access, offering miles of trails for pedestrians and responsible non-electric bicyclists. Leashed dogs are allowed in the lower preserve. (https://www.venturalandtrust.org/harmoncanyon)
