Description

This is a very pleasant hike that can be done in a couple of hours. Most of the trail follows the banks of Sisar creek, with several easy stream crossings along the way. The stream has many large boulders and sheer walls of rock which are quite spectacular. There is a pretty little waterfall dropping into a pool just as the fire road does a hairpin turn and leaves the stream. At the elbow of the turn, walk upstream on a little trail next to the bank a few hundred feet and you will see the waterfall. Very peaceful and pretty. Once the trail leaves the stream, it moves upwards quickly to a wonderful lookout with views of upper Ojai valley.
