Bon Voyage: Ojai, CA

Stay, play, eat, and hike in this enchanted valley town.

Let’s get some housekeeping out of the way: I only spent four days in Ojai, the majority of which involved my lying horizontal on a lounge chair at a resort. But this is small-town-territory, and y’all know I can’t sit still for very long. So in between spritzes by the pool and running after my nephew on the unmonitored golf course, I also managed to hike, shop, and, of course, eat. Still, this “guide” is not meant to be exhaustive. Rather, it’s proof that I can’t vacation and not write about it in the name of spreading the good word. :) With that, let’s go to Ojai.
