Ojai Valley Access and Wilderness Trail Use

Ojai does not require an entry permit for the town itself, but popular trailheads in the Los Padres National Forest may require a Northwest Forest Pass or Adventure Pass for parking. Accommodations in the valley are limited and frequently reach capacity on weekends. If planning to visit the nearby hot springs or specific private botanical gardens, reservations must be confirmed directly with those operators well in advance.
