On October 8th and 9th, seven participants and three guides explored the landscapes of Ojai in the Los Padres National Forest. The group swiftly traversed a 5-mile trail, nestled into the mountainside and overlooking the Sespe Creek. After setting up camp, the group continued on in search of a swim spot at the famous, but elusive, Willett Hot Springs. With the sun hanging low, the group split. Some opted to head back for a comfortable evening; the others patiently persisted to the Springs. Reunited back at camp long past sunset, the group enjoyed a hearty mushroom stew and appreciated the warmth of a comfy sleeping bag. The next morning, the group woke up well-slept and briskly returned to civilization. With a fantastic attitude, this group hiked as many as 20 miles with enthusiasm and great speed in just two days!
