Rose Valley 2-Falls

January 19, 2011 2 Comments

Rose Valley Falls is spectacular right now. January 22nd we will trek over the Connector Trail (which we’ve never done) and explore the East Fork Falls which are some of my favorites. We get to climb up and into several falls here. To feel the power of the water pulsing around you is thrilling. We will meet at Nordhoff H.S in Ojai @ 9 AM and then carpool to the trail head. Travel time is about 40 minutes. You can see several pictures from an earlier trip by going to www.goojai.com and clicking recent hikes view Middle Lions. The total trail length to both Falls is about 5 miles round trip. This hike is classified as a family hike including… the Dog’s. Dress in layers. The trail will be cold in the AM.

Anacapa Island Trip part 3

August 30, 2010

Saturday September 18th

Join us on this exquisite journey. We will travel across the channel in our own charted boat . The sea life is thriving on this journey across the channel and we may even see some of the 28 species of whales and dolphins. Once we arrive at the island we will start kayaking where we left off on our last trip. We will be heading south, concentrating on some of the largest caves the island has to offer. We will then kayak through the famous arch and visit the Northern Fur Seal rookery on the back side of the island. Anacapa Island has the largest Brown Pelican Rookery in the United States which we will also visit.

We are excited about working with Blue Ocean Kayaks on making this one of our best trips ever. Please visit Blue Ocean’s web sit www.blueoceankayaking.com and check out the details of the price, departure time, view their new boat, and sign up for this trip. You will also need to reserve your spot with me in advance as space for this trip is limited.

Things you should bring; A change of cloths for the trip back, and cloths to kayak in, (wet suits work well if you have one). Snacks for the kayaks as well as lunch. This is a full day. You will be able to keep food on the boat, so a small cooler is OK. Bring lots of water and if you bring a camera, wrap it in a water proof bag or zip lock bag or 2. I recommend bike gloves for your hands, a good hat and sunscreen as well.
