Before summer started and everything more than a mile from the coast turned into a blast furnace, we had a nice family hike to Piedra Blanca, in the Sespe Wilderness in Los Padres National Forest.
It's an out-and-back trip if just over a mile (one way), mostly flat. At the start of the walk, you have to cross the Sespe, which in May is about calf-deep.
Much of the way you are walking through terrain burned by the Day fire in 2006.
Micah really enjoyed running around on the rock fins and swells and especially when we climbed to the top of a prominent dome/blob.
Levi toddled and wobbled when he wasn't in the Ergo or stroller, which we could take up to the wilderness boundary.
The next weekend, we headed up to Ojai again, this time only going as far as Meiners Oaks, for a dip in the slimy Ventura River on the trails of the Rancho El Nido Preserve.
