Come join Emily and John for an uber chillin Base Camp trip to Ojai and Carrizo Plain! We’ll start the day at 8:30am with a scenic drive to Ojai. We’ll leisurely hike Piedra Blanca (6.1 miles, 872 ft gain) across streams and through beautiful sandstone formations! With a view of Elephant Rock, we’ll enjoy an assortment of Trader Joe’s snacks (power berries, cookie butter, dried mango, and any of your requests!) and have time to explore and scramble over the big rocks in the area.

After our chill hike, we’ll meet up with other groups and basecamp in Carrizo Plain with all of our SCO Fam! On Sunday, we’ll wake up to a sunrise over a field of wildflowers going as far as the eye can see, and get you back home in time for you to enjoy your sunday afternoon!
