My husband and I went for a hike, and it ended up being the perfect day to be outdoors. The trails were clean, well-maintained, and easy to follow, which made the hike really enjoyable. The weather was absolutely beautiful with clear skies and just the right temperature making it ideal for taking in the scenery and spending quality time together. It's such a peaceful spot to disconnect and enjoy nature. We'll definitely be back for another hike!

We cannot wait to bring our horses to get them on board with our new obsession! Truly a blast and so empowering. I recommend this for equestrians looking to expand their wheelhouse like us, but I can see how Heather would be amazing for complete beginners. If you're waiting for a sign to give it a shot... this is it!

And you will love driving through this refuge. While the refuge itself is closed to the public, in part to help with the reintroduction of California condors, the road offers plenty of turnouts for photography and for simply enjoying the rolling hills and gorgeous canyons. On clear days, views of the Sierra Nevada across the Central Valley are simply stunning. Wildflowers galore bloom during spring. If you're lucky, you may see a condor or two. (We saw a red-tailed hawk today.) Take your camera! Make sure your car is in working order and that you have plenty of water before the drive. Cell service is spotty at best. Enjoy the beauty.

If…read moreyou aren't in the mood for physical activities you can sit back and relax on one of the benches along the route. About midway through the trail is the oil workers monument, which is also a nice place to stop, relax and just have some fresh air. The only real negative is that there are some stray dogs which tend to hang around there. Maybe because there just isn't much green in the town, and they like the green!

The evenings would be the best because then you can see the beautiful sunset along the trail. After walking or jogging the whole trail you feel some sort of accomplishmet. The thing that sucks though is that you have to cross a couple of roads so you have to be very careful but other than that definitely go for a nice stroll.

Instead of taking the highway 1 up north it sent us through the mountains, and I'm sure glad it did. The hidden gems on this drive were breath taking.

I can't wait to have more time to drive back through and see all the little towns that you pass through to get to this awesome location.

Los Padres National Forest is a beautiful forest to come to, nestled in Central California with…read morescenic views. When my husband, our little girl dog and I visited this national forest last month, we saw patches of poppies and other beautiful flowers all throughout our drive and brief walk to take family photos. There was no admission price to pay when we came, but have read from other Yelp members' reviews that you may need a forest adventure pass. But there was no one that was selling the passes on site, nor did we see signs that indicated that we needed to have one when entering the forest (we also did not hike or engage in any type of activities when we were in the forest so I am not sure if we needed it). I may be wrong but I just thought I would mention this information. Anyways, it was a nice day when we arrived. Unfortunately the visitor center (where there are restrooms but did not see any where else where there are restrooms so be sure to use the restroom before coming here) was closed and one of the entrances was closed as well (which is probably why we were not charged to come in here or were required to purchase the adventure pass). There did not appear to be a lot of shade so be sure to wear a hat and bring water to stay hydrated if you plan on hiking here. If you want to see Mother Nature in action, this is the place to check her out in all of her glory if you happen to be in this part of California.

Unfortunately it gets even trickier as the entrance is only for handicapped so you have to go all the way around and come back at cuentos on the other side. You ll see a sign then. Really beautiful park with a volleyball court, we had it all to ourselves and let dogs off the leash the entire time. A must-see but. take a bottle of wine! Also if you have kids they do have a regular children's playground as well.
