Summary:
Most of the trail follows the banks of Sisar creek, with several easy stream crossings (except after a downpour). Very peaceful and pretty. Once the trail leaves the stream, it moves upwards quickly to a nice overlook that offers views of upper Ojai valley. Since this trail is inland, it will get hot in the summer.

Trailhead:
Highway 150 (north) in Santa Paula to Sisar Road (right) to traihead gate. Park on the side of the road. Trailhead starts on dirt road.
