Rose Valley Falls
Rose Valley Falls is a pretty limestone waterfall near the village of Ojai in the Los Padres National Forest. Getting here requires a bit of a detour off the Hwy 101 between Camarillo and Santa Barbara. You actually have to take the Hwy 33 for quite a ways (16 miles) as it goes through mountains and canyons before it finally gets to Rose Valley Road and the Rose Valley Recreation Area. Look for the Rose Valley Campground where you'll find the car park for the falls. The walk to the falls is short and easy (about a half-mile return). If the falls flows heavily, you might be able to see the upper tiers from the car park (we weren't fortunate enough to see this). Otherwise, you take the short walk to its base where you can look up at the falls as it tumbles amongst the green and yellow moss and algae growing on the limestone. Quite pretty!
