Shelf, Gridley, Fuel Break, and Pratt Trails Loop

Cross Posted to: Food Drinks and Fun 20s to 40s

Let's hit the trails in Ojai before it gets too hot!

This is a 7 mile loop that is rated moderate on Alltrails. Expect to spend 3.5 hours hiking with some amazing views to enjoy along the way.

Bring: More water than you think you will need, a hat, bug repellent, sunscreen, shoes with good traction such as hiking boots, trail runners, or sneakers that have good grip.

We will begin at the Shelf Road trailhead. Please note there are 2 entrances to the trail a few miles apart. Please use the location provided here. If you type in "shelf road" into Apple Maps or Google Maps it may take you to the other entrance. We want to meet at the entrance off of Signal Street. Set the address to 1501 Signal Street and then continue on to drive all the way to the end of the Signal Street where it dead ends at the trailhead. There is a turn around area if you get to the dead end and need to turn around. Park along the side of the road. There is plenty of place to park, but be careful to check signs as there are a few areas that are dedicated to residents.

For those who have the time and the hunger after the hike, we will grab a bit to eat in downtown Ojai.
