The Ojai Valley and Hwy.150 Heaven on Earth

After leaving Palmdale last Sunday, I drove the scenic route back toward Santa Barbara on Hwy. 150 going through small towns and the Los Padres National Forest and the wonderful mountains in that area.

The Ojai Valley is paradise, one of those areas that truly could be described as "heaven on earth." The small town of Ojai was ending a musical festival that had been ongoing all weekend. I walked around in downtown Ojai and Libbey Park, where the festival was winding down.

Below are some photos I took while driving west through the mountains to Ojai. To enjoy this beautiful drive, take Hwy. 150 west from Santa Paula and drive the 50 miles or so to Carpinteria.
