Rose Valley 2-Falls

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.  Things you should know..
