Let's get some fresh air, exercise, and meet new people!
We will spend 1.5 hours walking around the harbor and having conversation. Then we'll head to The Boatyard Pub for dinner and drinks.

Bring: Comfortable shoes and something warm to wear. The harbor can get chilly in the evening.

To make things as simple as possible The Boatyard Pub will be both our starting and ending point. Meet outside the restaurant entrance and be ready to walk.

*****Note: We will only complete a portion of the trail for a total of 6 miles/3 hours spent hiking*****

This is a 10.4 mile point to point trail (10.4 miles there + 10.4 miles to return) that starts midway between Ventura and Ojai. We will be turning back before the end of the trail to return to the starting point. We will plan on spending a total of 3 hours hiking and will likely hike a total of 6 miles depending on how many breaks we take and what pace we go at.

Starting point: 155 Sulphur Mountain Road, Ventura, CA

The hike starts at the end of the road. Plan on parking on the side of the road. There is plenty of parking along the road. There is a parking lot in the area, but it belongs to a camp. Do not park there.

Free Community Event!

Join us for a vibrant celebration of Indigenous culture, tradition, and community at our Winter Solstice Festival! The event kicks off with a powerful performance by Hummingbird Women’s Drum and Chumash Singing Sisters.

From 1:00-2:30, experience captivating storytelling from Chumash Elder Dennis Garcia, Kat High of the Hupa tribe, and Alan Salazar, a Fernando Tataviam and Ventureño Chumash Elder. Bring the little ones to our Kids’ Corner, where they can stay busy with playful puppets and colorful crafts while you enjoy the storytelling!

Throughout the day, engage in hands-on activities like rock painting and cordage making, guided by Julia Fireflower, a Tataviam tribal member with ties to the Chumash, where you can learn about native plants and their ceremonial significance. Grab a bite to eat from Island Smoke n Grill, Guamanian BBQ!

As the day draws to a close, join us for a public prayer circle, honoring the spirit of forgiveness, community, and gratitude. This is a celebration of culture, storytelling, and togetherness that you won’t want to miss.
